and goat cheese.

Unfortunately, during the dinner, Bill Gates told me that he's slightly lactose intolerant.

I didn't believe him because because he had already eaten the salad and seemed fine, but
193

when he ran off to the bathroom, I came to believe that it was true.

The only good thing that came from this experience was that Bill Gates didn't sue me for making
195

him sick.

Except for that, we had a good time.

The dinner came to an end too fast, and we promised to do it again sometime but without

I made it up.

I don't even know if Bill Gates is lactose intolerant.

If I invited him to my house, he would definitely not come because he doesn't know me.

Now I have a question for you.

In the comments, let me know, why did you come to love English?

This assumes of course that you love English now, but it also assumes that you didn't love

English at the beginning.
