When I was a child I liked milk and I used to down a glass of milk. But one day my teacher told me a story about milk that scared me. He told me that if you down the milk you choke, because when the milk goes down in the esophagus it becomes a ball. So, from this day I began to take small sips of milk. One day while I was having breakfast my mother noticed what I was doing and asked why; so I told her the teacher’s story. She laughed a lot and said that the story was a lie. I suppose that my teacher had to tell the story to scare me off and make me drink slowly.
