he wanted to surprise his parents and prepare them
dinner.I didn’t know which recipe to decide on.He began to fall asleep and when he was about to fall asleep, he saw a carrot and a jar of ketchup coming out of the book.
Carrot: First course you can make a salad with tomatoes, lettuce…
Ketchup:No. No, for starters it's best to make a burger with lots of mayonnaise, lots of ketchup and chips.
Carrots:I don't want to argue anymore. Let her decide.What do you prefer to do as a starter?
Girl:As a cook, I was looking at this cookbook.
Ketchup:Time is running out. We prepare the dishes for you and you try them, okay?
Girl: OK.
(Mr. Ketchup gives you a taste of a burger with strong mayonnaise, ketchup, chips… ..etcThe
girl starts eating and starts to swell… Then Mrs.
Carrot gives her the salad and the girl begins to deflate.)
