One day after work, Tony walked into a restaurant in George Street and ordered something for dinner. Thirty minutes later, a group of three people came in and ordered theirs.
To his surprise, the group got served first. He watched as they began to eat. They were laughing at Tony because Tony had to wait so long. So Tony decided to leave. He asked the waiter to cancel (取消) his order, but the waiter said, "Yours is a special order, being prepared by the boss himself. It'll take a little more time."
Tony had to sit down and waited patiently. Shortly after, his meal was served by six waiters. In fact, the boss was Tony's old friend. They had long time no see. The boss saw Tony when he entered and decided to give him a surprise. The boss changed his simple meal to a five-star meal for free.
The three people were shocked. They asked unhappily why they didn't get that kind of service.
Such is life! Some people may laugh at you and talk about how they're better than you. Don't worry! Life has seen you and doesn't want you to be served with a simple meal. You have to wait long because yours must be special.
