Let's go to Carrefour!!



Fasting month is coming very soon but we don’t have anything to eat in our refrigerator. The words ‘we’ means me and my housemates. Once we were thinking about just order it by phone. But when we think again, it’s impossible. Imagine the number of order that they have to delivered because everybody want to eat too after fasting all day long. We could have to wait for a year!! And by the time the food is arrived, we could have died because of hunger. So, when we think again, it was a bad plan.
Therefore, we have to change our plan to plan B. and that plan B is Buy rice cooker, stove and foods so we don’t have to order anymore. Everybody agree with plan b. Then, we decided to go to Carrefour to buy all the necessary things. But suddenly, my housemates lost their intention because if we want to go to carrefour, we have to go to alamanda, and alamanda is far. And also we have to rent a car. That’s a long journey. I keep thinking of a way to persuade them. Then I remember something about ad popullum appeal to indirect consequences which I‘ve learned in critical thinking class. So I said to them, “If we don’t go to Carrefour, we couldn’t cook for our meal, if we couldn’t cook, we definitely will fail our fasting, if our fasting fail, it will be a sin.and if we have a lot of sin then we will go to hell for the rest of our lives. Do you want to be like that?”.Fortunately, They start thinking about what I’ve said and after taking a pretty a long time to think, finally, they agree! So, a moment later, we leave our house and begin our journey to Carrefour. But suddenly, my friend ask a question, ”Do you guys have any money? i forgot that I don’t have any money in my bank. My parents haven’t sent me this month! Can I borrow yours? hehe”. then each of us begin to think again and try to remember about the amount of money in our bank. So, in the end, our trip to Carrefour cancelled because none of us has any money remaining in our bank.
