Title: The craving!!!
Peter and his friends just finished playing soccer on a hot afternoon. They were all so exhausted and resting in a corner.
Suddenly, Peter exclaimed, “I want KFC!!!!”
His friends replied in unison, “Let’s go!”
They arrived at Jurong Point KFC and Peter immediately ordered his favourite two piece chicken meal. Just as everyone started on their food, Peter suddenly threw his chicken into the air and shouted, “Ouch! That’s so hot!!!!”
He then remarked: “ I ddn’t expect it to be so HOT as it felt warm while I was holding on to the paper box.”
His friends all burst out in laughter.
