I walked into a restaurant and ordered some food. After about 20 minutes, a large group of people came in and took their own orders.
I felt disappointed （失望的） because the group got served before me. I watched as they began to eat and laughed loudly. I heard one of them bragging （吹嘘）about how he knew someone who worked at the restaurant. Unable to stand it any more, I decided to leave. I asked the waiter tocancelmy order angrily.
He told me nicely, "Yours is a special order. The head chef is preparing it himself. It'll take a little more time. Please have a drink when you wait. "I calmed down （冷静）and waited patiently. A few minutes later, my meal was served by six waiters.
To my surprise, the owner of the restaurant was a long—lost friend of mine. He saw me walking in and decided to surprise me.Heturned my simple meal into a five—star meal for free. The people at the other tables were shocked and couldn't stop looking at me. They asked angrily why they didn't get that kind of service.
Such is life! Some people go ahead of you, laughing at you and talking about how they are smarter, better and luckier than you, while you are working hard day and night, wondering why it's taking so long for you to get reward （奖励） like them.
