Slow Down that Eating!

"Should I call Ma to ask where she is? Forget it! I bet she has gone out to meet her friends again," he thought, letting out a loud sigh.

Famished, John decided to order some food from Koala Delivery. He picked up the phone, dialled their number and waited for someone to answer the call.

"Koala Delivery. What's your order?" the staff asked.

John immediately gave his order and the delivery address. Upon hanging up the phone, he began pacing up and down the living room while waiting for the food to be delivered. After a long thirty-minute wait, his food finally arrived. John's eyes lit up and his mouth watered. Without wasting a minute, John devoured the food. No crumbs were left uneaten.

An hour later, John was writhing on the floor due to severe pain in his stomach. Instinctively, John called his mother. He told her that he was having a stomachache and needed help. Desperately. John's mother rushed home and took him to the nearby clinic. John regretted his actions and reminded himself to eat slowly and not gobble his food.
