英文原文:

Emily: Actually, there's a way to keep the kitchen god from telling the bad things you did.
Joice: What is it? Tell me! Will it work for Lester, too?
Emily: I think so! Just serve a lot of sweet dishes next week. That will make the kitchen god say sweet things about you!
Joice: Hmm. Are you sure that will work? I already tried giving chocolate to Lester.
Emily: And what happened?
Joice: His face broke out and he said it was my fault!
