ABSTRACT

The sadistic principal, Miss Trunchbull, discovers that Bruce stole a piece of her cake. As punishment, she wants Bruce to eat an entire cake. Bruce really enjoyed the first piece of cake but is full and apprehensive about eating more. A second piece – he’d probably enjoy that as well, but it wouldn’t be as tasty. But after two pieces of cake, he could actually get sick. That means additional consumption of the cake actually negatively affects Bruce’s well-being.
