Manuel came home crying. The children had called him "Fatso" again,and he hated it. He sat down,and looked very sad. "Don't worry. F m fat too," said his mother. "But it's me they call Fatso," Manuel cried. His mother felt very sorry for him. "All right then," she said. " We're both too fat. Let's go on a diet together."
It would not be easy. They both loved bread,cakes,potatoes and chips. To diet,they had to eat salads. The first day was fun,but by nighttime,they felt very hungry. "We won't think about food. Let's think about airplanes," said his mother.
"But I keep seeing chocolate in my mind," Manuel answered. The second day was hard,for they both kept thinking about cream cakes. The third was worse. By now they both wanted to give up. "No,no, we must be strong," said Manuel's mother.
Somehow,they kept on dieting for three weeks,and lost a lot of fat. They liked their new bodies so much they kept going until they were really slim. After a few months,Manuel enjoyed eating fruit or nuts instead of sweets. Nobody called him Fatso any more. Some were calling him Spider Legs―and he loved it.
