I would be wasting my money to buy film for that lemon.

2. My friend Greg loves peanut butter. Every morning he spreads peanut butter on his toast or waffles. He snacks on peanut butter cups at school, and, of course, he eats peanut butter sandwiches for lunch every day. Nowadays, he bakes his own peanut butter cookies because his mother has refused to make them anymore. Greg is a hopeless case; he even covers a slice of chocolate cake with peanut butter.
3. My wife and I bought a golden retriever puppy last year. We made the mistake on the first few nights of allowing the puppy to sleep on a rug by our bed because he missed his brothers and sisters. Later when we made a bed for him in the laundry room, he howled and scratched on the door for several hours every night. After a while the neighbors called on the telephone to complain about the noise. We thought that he would never give up. The puppy finally learned to sleep by himself, and the neighbors started speaking to us again.
