An expensive stomach

‘That’s an expensive stomach,’ said Maiyuu, giving my belly a disapproving prod.

‘No, not expensive...we just have to invest in it often,’ I said, referring to my large appetite, and the fact that I like to eat.

The day before pay day, our money has run out, as it usually does at this time.

‘If you sold it, you’d probably never get the investment back,’I added.

‘We could chop you up and sell it as kuay teow neua nam khon (beef noodles),’ suggested Maiyuu.

‘You could only sell it the once – once it’s gone, that’s it,’I replied.

‘Yes...but it would last all week,’ said Maiyuu.

Roll on pay day!
