Lisa has always been overweight( 肥胖的 ). She wanted to lose weight, not only because she wanted to look more beautiful and healthier, but also because it would make life easier.
For example, it was difficult for Lisa to find ready-made clothes. She had to ask a tailor( 裁缝 ) to make clothes that were large enough. In school, she needed a special chair that was bigger and stronger than other chairs. If she went for a walk, she got tired very quickly.
She was also unhappy about the way people treated( 对待 ) her sometimes. “People look at me and even make fun of me. I can’t enjoy having dinner with my friends because I’m afraid of getting fatter.”
But now things are quite different. Last month, her classmates were preparing for School Art Week. Someone advised Lisa to play the lead role of the proud Queen who was tall and overweight. Lisa agreed and practised a lot. Soon after the play, Lisa became a star! She did so well that everybody knew the proud Queen.
Now Lisa doesn’t worry about being overweight any more. She believes in the English saying, “Every dog has its day.”
