It was obvious that he was very embarrassed. When I asked him what he wasdoing, he smiled guiltily and then put the parcel on the desk. He explained that his diet was sostrict that he had to reward himself occasionally. Then he showed me the contents of theparcel. It contained five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets!
