Subject: Poor Little Rich Girl

I work as an accountant for a very wealthy family. They live in a big house with a swimming pool, a sauna, and five bathrooms. They have a villa on the coast, a yacht, a private helicopter, and a beautiful little daughter. Her life is one endless round of holidays, new clothes, and toys. She even has a private tutor.

Before she goes to bed at night, she always closes her eyes and makes a wish. The other morning, I asked her what she wished for.

She sighed and said, “I wish I could play in the street and eat ice cream like the other kids.”

Subject: Fat Chance

Whenever I announce that I want to go on a diet, my friends at work tell me that I am thin enough already. My girlfriend buys me a huge box of chocolates. Her mom invites me to Sunday lunch. My parents visit me unexpectedly with “food packages.” They worry about me all the time. I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but this is how people become fat in the first place!
