Lesson 9 Text A Stop Eating Fried Potatoes Mrs Jenkins went to her doctor one day, because her heart was giving her trouble.

The doctor listened to her heart carefully and did a few other things. Then he said, Well, Mrs Jenkins, stop smoking, and then you'll soon be quite all right again.

But doctor, answered Mrs Jenkins quickly, I've never smoked. I don't like smoking.

Oh, well, said the doctor, then don't drink any more alcohol.

But I don't drink alcohol, answered Mrs Jenkins at once.

Stop drinking tea and coffee then, the doctor said to her.

I only drink water, answered Mrs Jenkins. I don't like

tea or coffee.

The doctor thought for a few seconds and then said,

Well,. . . er. . . do you like fried potatoes?

Yes, I like them very much, answered Mrs Jenkins.

All right, then stop eating those, said the doctor as he got up to say goodbye to Mrs Jenkins.
