07 A Valuable Lesson

Last Mid-Autumn Festival was an unforgettable day for me.

Partly because I ate too many moon cakes and partly because the moon cakes had spoilt, I had a bad stomachache.

Not only did I vomit, but I had the runs.

Subsequently, I was sent to the hospital.

This unfortunate experience taught me a valuable lesson.

That is, one should eat moderately.

As the old saying goes，"Don't bite off more than you can chew.”

You can be sure that I will keep that in mind from now on.
