Story -Big Breakfast

A. Reading

Jack likes eggs and ham. He works in the city. Every morning on his way to work, Jack stops at a café and buys a big breakfast and a cup of coffee.  Sometimes he buys a sandwich and a donut to take away for his lunch.  Jack likes this morning habit because it is quick and easy. He does not have to cook breakfast or make his lunch or wash the dishes. But Jack is getting fat.  The doctor has told him that he has high cholesterol. The doctor told him to stop eating foods that are high in fat.  Jack must not visit the café so often.  He must start packing himself lunch with foods in it like apples and bananas. Donuts? -Maybe once a week.
