Bonjour et bon dimanche
Voici une petite histoire drôle à traduire, j'espère qu'elle vous plaira.
Correction dimanche prochain.
Récompense pour mérite.
Mon ami Herbert a toujours été gros, mais ces derniers temps, les choses allaient si mal qu’il décida de suivre un régime. Il le commença il y a une semaine. D’abord, il rédigea une longue liste de tous les aliments qui étaient interdits. Cette liste comprenait toutes les choses qu’Herbert aime : beurre, pommes de terre, riz, bière, lait, chocolat, et bonbons.
Je lui rendis visite hier. Je sonnai à la porte et n’étais pas surpris de voir qu’il était aussi gros que jamais. Il me fit entrer et cacha avec précipitation un gros paquet sous son bureau. De toute évidence, il était très embarrassé. Lorsque je lui demandai ce qu’il faisait, il sourit l’air coupable et posa le paquet sur le bureau. Il se mit à expliquer que son régime était tellement strict qu’il devait s’offrir des récompenses de temps en temps pour se donner du courage. Ensuite il me montra le contenu du paquet. Il contenait cinq grosses tablettes de chocolat et trois paquets de bonbons !

Hello
Reward for merit
My friend Herbert has always been quite overweight but things have been getting so bad lately that he decided to go on a diet. He went on it two weeks ago. First, He made a long list of all the kinds of food which were forbidden. This list included all the things that Herbert likes : butter, potatoes, rice, beer, milk, chocolate and candy.
I went to see him yesterday. I rang the doorbell and wasn't surprised when I saw he was fatter than ever ! He let me in and quickly tried to hide a big bag under his desk . He was obviously very embarrassed. When I asked him what he was doing, he smiled; looking guilty, and put the bag back on his desk. He started to explain that the diet he was on was so strict that he sometimes had to offer himself a reward to get some courage. Then he showed me the content of the bag. There were five big bars of chocolate and three bags of candy.
Poor Herbert ! I hope he'll manage to lose some weight
Thank you

My Friend Herbert has always been fat, but, recently, the stuff was going worst so that he decided to restrict his food. He began a week ago.
First he drafted a long food check list which was forbidden. This list included all his druthers: butter, potatoes, rice, beer, milk, chocolate and sweets.
I visited him yesterday. I rang and wasn't amazed seeing him as fat more than ever. He let me in and quickly hid a big box under his desk. He was quite obviously embarrassed. While I questioned him, he smiled at me with a guilty looking and put back the box on the desk. He told me the diet was so restrictive that now and again he must gift some bounties to him to buckle down.
After, he showed me the box which contained five big blocks of chocolate and three packets of sweets.

Bonjour aimen7.
Herbert, a friend of mine has always been stout. Recently, things were getting so bad that he decided to go on a diet. He started it a week ago. First, he drew up a long list of all the prohibited food. This list consited of everything Herbert was fond of : butter, potatoes, rice, beer, milk, chocolate, and sweets.
Yesterday, I called on him. I rang the doorbell, and I wasn't surprised to notice he had never been so plump. He let me in, and swiftly hid a big bag beneath his desk. He was obviously ill-at-ease. When I asked him what he was doing, he smiled, with a guilty look on his face, and put the bag on the desk.
He started to explain that his diet was so hard that he had ,from time to time, to treat himself to some rewards , in order to cheer himself up. Then he let me see the content of the bag. There were five big chocolate bars and three packs of sweets in it.

Hello everybody,
Voici ma version et merci de votre participation à tous. Rendez-vous prochainement pour une autre histoire drôle avec un personnage aussi loufoque que notre ami Herbert. (Je me demande où il en est avec son régime un peu spécial!)
Reward for virtue
My friend Herbert has always been fat, but things got so bad recently that he took the decision to go on a diet. He started a week ago. First of all, he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden. This list included all the things Herbert loves: butter, potatoes, rice, beer, milk, chocolate and sweets.
I paid him a visit yesterday. I rang the doorbell and was not surprised to see he was as fat as ever. He let me in and hurriedly hid a large parcel under his desk. It was quite obvious that he was very embarrassed. When I asked him what he was doing, he smiled guiltily, and put the parcel on his desk. He explained that his diet was so strict that he had to reward himself occasionally to keep himself going. Then, he showed me the content of the parcel. It contained five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets!
