Once, there was a delicate little boy named, Daniel. He was allergic to many foodstuffs. He was allergic to cream pastries too. His mother said, “Daniel, I cannot always be with you, but I trust you that you will not eat food to which you are allergic.” Daniel promised her that he would remember this. One day, he went to stay with his cousins. They were strong, healthy children, quite a contrast to their delicate little cousin, Daniel. Daniel’s aunt prepared cream-filled apple tarts that night. But Daniel remembered his promise to his mother and he refused to eat the tarts. His cousins said scornfully, “We are glad that we are not delicate.” Daniel felt very much inclined to give up, but he remembered that his mother trusted him, and he remained true to her wishes.
