Article 417.

Friendly meal

Last month I attended so many functions that I took a vow to refrain from eating at restaurants this month. I decided I should stick to my pledge at least for 20 days. Things were running smoothly until about the 17th day, when I got a call from a friend who was visiting Bengaluru.

After a few pleasantries were exchanged, I asked to what I owed the honour of his call. He explained that he wanted to celebrate his birthday with me the following day at a restaurant. 

I was unable to dent his request for the friendly meal, although it was a very tough dilemma between the self-promise I had made and a close friend’s special request.
