5. So when the most food was on the left, he let her have it.
Lester was a gentleman.
He knew that Greta only liked to eat things that were on the left side.
So when the most food was on the left, he let her have it.

6. So when the most food was on the right, she let Lester have it.
Greta thought Lester was so polite, and she didn’t want to be a greedy gator.
So when the most food was on the right, she let Lester have it.
