temptation pizza parlor page 7 by ric gustafson
" This combination pizza is good" Merle said as he took a bite and then wiped off his mouth with a napkin. " The spicier the better".
Eddie took a bite of his pizza. " This ham and pineapple is good too".
Sal looked at Eddie. " Eddie, you know that God doesn't want you to give in to temptation".
" Eating this pizza and not having the money to pay for it".
" Go ahead and do it". Merle took a bit of his pizza. " Nobody will notice or care if you leave and don't pay".
Sal shook his head. " God's Word says that lying and stealing is a sin".
As all three ate in silence, Eddie contemplated what each had said.
The waitress came and put the check on the table.
" Eddie, it's time to decide".
He thought for a moment and then looked at them both. " Because I'm a christian and I do not want to go against God's Word". He hesitated. " I will talk to the manager and explain my situation".
Sal smiled and then vanished.
Merle scowled and then vanished.
Eddie asked for the Manager.
