The Burger who didn ? t want to be junk food


Once upon a time there was a burger who had many lives . Each day she would wake up in the ____________________ bar , and patiently wait her turn to be cooked by the chefs , before being served to the customers . While being eaten , she would do everything possible to make herself really delicious , and with the customer ? s final bite she would feel like the lights had gone out and she had simply fallen asleep . The next day the whole process would repeat itself .

The little ____________________ could have continued quietly living this way for many years if it hadn ? t been for the fact that , one day , while she was waiting her turn at the ____________________ range , she heard one of the customers referring to her as ? junk food ? . And , boy , did this make her angry ! She was so furious that she almost spontaneously combusted .

From then on she realised that many people used that term about her and her sisters . And after listening closely to any radio or television program about ____________________ ____________________ or healthy food , she arrived at a horrifying conclusion : it was true , she was ? junk food ? .

Now she understood why most of her favourite customers were now much fatter than they had been when she first met them , and why those who came most often didn ? t look too well . The ____________________ felt terrible ; all this was her fault ! So she tried to find some solution , some way they could ____________________ off that terrible name .

And then she hit on it . Whenever she saw one of the kids who visited almost daily , she would choose the best place to be chosen , and would wait to be served . Once he was with the child , and the important moment wasn ? t far off ? the first bite - the burger would concentrate as much as she could and . . . nothing happened . The child sank their teeth into the ____________________ and chewed the mouthful just as usual . Then along came another bite , with the burger concentrating as before , but everything happened just as before ?
Several more bites and the burger was about to give up , when she heard the child ? s voice :

- " Blimey , how strange ! This burger doesn't taste of anything . "

That was just the start of what turned out to be a perfect plan . The burger convinced all her sisters not to have any ____________________ whenever they were with a customer that visited too often , in return for being even more tasty when the customer came only rarely .

In this way they began to see fewer chubby , unhealthy - looking faces in the restaurant , and many of their old familiar friends started looking much better , while getting to eat much tastier ____________________ .

And these ____________________ became much more popular from then on , because , everywhere , it's more enjoyable to taste something after a while of not having had it .
