James got up at five to seven. His parents and his little twin sister went traveling in France and he had to look after himself at home. He opened the fridge, but he found only two hamburgers in it. He decided to have breakfast in the restaurant at the other side of the street. He sat at a table and the waiter came up and said, "Can I take your order (点菜), James? "
"But you don't show your menu to me, Mr Hunt, " said the boy.
"Oh, sorry! I forget it. Here it is. "
James looked at the menu carefully. It was:
|
Bread ＄1.30 Sandwich ＄1.80 Hamburger ＄2.40 Pizza ＄2.40 Egg ＄0.30 Milk ＄0.50 Coffee ＄0.70 Coke ＄0.30 |
James brought out his wallet and found there was only 6.50 dollars in it.
"Well, " said Mr Hunt, "what about a hamburger, a pizza, two eggs and a glass of Coke? "
"Oh, no, " said the boy, "I'll buy a picture-book this afternoon. It's 1.50 dollars. "
"I see, " said the waiter. And then he brought the boy a nice breakfast.
