Chocolate Kiss

It was hard to stay healthy in Wolfenbuettel. A small bottle of water cost me 1 euro 14 cents in this store, yet for only 50 I could have got a "chocolate kiss sandwich" - a role stuffed with a confection of marshmallow, chocolate, and waffle!

At my hotel, breakfast was included; it consisted of a pitcher of coffee, a glass of orange juice, a hard boiled egg, three rolls, and a platter full of 5 types of meet, three types of cheese, and four large pats of butter. All for one person. When I breakfasted on *merely* a role with butter and jam, five cups of coffee, o.j., and a hard-boiled egg, the woman serving breakfast ran after me. "What is wrong?" she inquired, concerned. "You ate hardly anything for breakfast! Is there something else we can get you? Please, at least take some of the other rolls with you for the day."
