A Chopping Aide

"I just can't cook." Sarah lamented.

"Why so?" inquired Leone, who was as earnest in her query as a nurse, would be to her patient.

"Gravy is the key ingredient to get texture in any dish. Alas! I can't chop onions. They bring tears to my eyes." With that, she breathed a deep sigh that was as cold as if she had just landed in the Frigid zone.

Leone quickly handed a shield to her friend, "Wear this armor before you chop onions; it will protect you from the sooty vapors that they emit, that'll prevent tears from coming."

"Why so?" inquired Leone, who was as earnest in her query as a nurse, would be to her patient.

The Art of cutting Onions

"Ouch," he shrieked in pain as he placed his finger under the running water while compressing the cut.

"What happened" came a curious query.

"I cut my finger" Josh replied in pain.

While laughing loudly, the querier commented, "Sure, it had to happen. Who wears sunglasses to cut onions."

Josh was taken aback at first. Swallowed his pride and made a statement of opinion, "This helps fight the teary eyes."

"Oh!" said the inquirer but could not digest the fact, "But either way you landed up with tears!"

That made Josh question himself, and eventually he nodded in compliance.
