010. All-you-can-eat

Robert’s family got together every Sunday. They always had lunch together. Every week, they went to the same restaurant. It was an “All-You-Can-Eat Buffet”.

Robert’s family loved eating. This was the perfect restaurant for them. Robert’s mom always ate the most. She would serve herself at least four plates for one meal.

His dad was a picky eater. The buffet gave him plenty of options. Aunt Nancy loved the buffet the most. She always brought a bag with her. She would make sure no one was looking at her.

Then, she would drop food into the bag. Her bag was three times bigger than before by the time she left.
