The dessert looked (7) (promise) and smelt good, but by this time I (8) (trust) everything that was put in front of me in this place. Nevertheless, it was (9) (pass) and I ate it thankfully. It cost me 80 Euros for a bread roll and a small piece of (10) (freeze) gateaux. Apparently, it isn’t the ‘boca’ that’s ‘tonta’, it’s me!
