It was my birthday last Thursday and I decided to
26 by inviting a few friends out to supper. I
27 a restaurant in a quiet part of town. It is one of my favorite restaurants because the food is good and the waiters are friendly. It is hardly ever crowded, because
28 people know about it, so it is not usually necessary to book a table. In any case, Thursday is not a busy evening
29 .
When we entered the restaurant, I was surprised to find it completely
30 . I looked around but not a
31 table was free. One of the waiters recognized me. He came across and explained the situation. “A party of tourists came in about
32 ago.” he said. “It was like an invasion!
33 the place was full! We can hardly manage.”
The waiter then
34 a table in the corner. “The people there
35 . ” he said, “Just hold on and you will
36 a place there.” He was right. Fifteen minutes later, the people
37 the corner table paid their bill, got up and left. I led my friends across and we all sat down.
Unfortunately our table was almost out of sight. We tried to attract the attention of the waiter who sent us there, but he, like
38 waiters,
39 the party of tourists. They ordered lots of food. But at last, an hour later, the tourists were finishing their meal and looking very
40 with their service. The waiter now very tired, appeared at our table. I advised (建议) my friends about the best dishes and finally the waiter went off with our
41 .
A few moments later he
42 to our table. We could tell from his face that he had
43 for us.
44 a little embarrassed (尴尬的) he informed us that there was
45 left. “All we can offer you” he said, “is an omelet!(煎蛋卷)”
