           The other day, the Smiths went to the "E_&_P" Restaurant to have lunch as usual. Mrs Smith suddenly got astonished because the new waiter was an old person. She was in her sixties but still worked hard. She served the clients fast and with huge smiles. Mrs Smith asked her if she was doing that job for money. The waiter said that it was her restaurant, and she loved cooking and serving people personally. As she was too busy, she had no time to chat, so she continued taking orders. That old lady, Mrs Baker, was too kind with the Smiths. She has even offered them two burgers when they were leaving, and she has invited them to taste some more of her new delicious dishes. The Smiths left very glad and promised to come back the next day.
