Today I encountered a new type of human food: marshmallows.  Cherise was having some of them (oh the wonders of humans!) and offered one to me.  I normally trust her judgment on food, so I took a bite. 

Oh, you cannot believe how good it tasted!  It was as if someone had taken a cloud and brought it down to earth!  How sweet!  I quickly ate the whole thing and asked for another one.  And another one after that. 

Every good food has its downside.  I am ashamed to say that I ate too many of them, and now have a really bad stomachache.  Sugar is one of the greatest of human inventions, but it can also be one of the most dangerous.  I am writing this entry to warn you: don’t eat more than two marshmallows at a time!  It can be bad for your digestion!

(Edit: Cherise has reminded me that humans have larger stomachs than gnomes, so the two-marshmallow guideline does not apply to those who are not gnomes.)
