Here you go.
Eat your lettuce!

Do you need some help?

I'll use my quietest voice.

Let's see if it works.

Some yummy lettuce, just for you.

I'm being so soft and gentle... and Snowball ate the lettuce.

- Snowball likes it when you're gentle.
- Snowball must really like lettuce.
(giggling) - He makes a funny face when he eats.
Num, num, num.
- Snowball even eats in a gentle way!
