Wang Peng fol owed Li Chang into a new smal saw a si gn in the window. Tired of al that fat? Want to l ose wei ght? Com e insi de Yong Hui’s slimm i ng restaurant. O nl y sl immi ng foods served here. Make yoursel f thi n again. Curiosi ty drove Wang Peng i nsi de. It was ful of peopl e. The hostes, a very thi n lady came forward. “Wel e, ” she sai d. “My nam e i s Yong H ui. I’l help you lose wei ght and be fi t i n two weeks if you eat here every day. ” Then she gave a menu to Wang Peng. There were few choi ces of fod and dri nk on i t: just ri ce, raw vegetables served i n vi negar, frui t and water. Wang Peng was am azed at thi s and especial y at the pri ces. It cost m ore than a good m eal i n his restaurant! H e coul d not bel ieve hi s eyes. H e threw down the m enu and hurri ed outsi de. On hi s way hom e he thought about hi s own m enu. Di d it m ake people fat? Perhaps he shoul d go to the li brary and find out. H e coul d not have Yong H ui getti ng away wi th teli ng peopl e li es! H e had better do som e research! At the l ibrary Wang Peng was surprised to fi nd that hi s restaurant served far to much fat and Yong Hui’s far to li ttl e. Even though her custom ers mi ght get thi n after eati ng Yong H ui ’s food, they were not eati ng enough energygi vi ng food to keep them fit. They woul d be e tired very qui ckly. Wang Peng fel t m ore hopeful as he drove back hom e. Perhaps wi th a di scount and a new sign he coul d wi n his custom ers back! So he wrote: Want to feel fit and energetic? Com e and eat here! Di scounts today! O ur food gi ves you energy al day! The peti ti on between the two restaurants was on! COME AND EAT H ERE (2) A week l ater, Wang Peng’s restaurant was nearly ful l and he fel t hapier. Perhaps he would be able to earn hi s l iving after al l and not have to cl ose his restaurant. H e di d not l ook forward to bei ng i n debt because hi s restaurant was no l onger popul ar. H e smil ed as he wel ed some custom ers warml y at the door but the sm il e left hi s face when he saw Yong H ui wal ki ng in. She di d not l ok hapy but gl ared at him. “May I ask what you were doi ng i n m y restaurant the other day? I thought you were a new custom er and now I know that you onl y cam e only to spy on m e and my menu, ” she shouted. “Pl ease excuse me,” he calm ly expl ained, “I wanted to know where al my custom ers had gone last week. I fol owed one of them and found them i n your restaurant. I don’t want to upset you, but I found your m enu so li mi ted that I stopped worryi ng and started adverti si ng the benefi ts of my food. Why don’t you sit down and try a m eal ?” Yong H ui agreed to stay and son they were both enjoyi ng the dumpli ngs and breast of chicken cooked with garli c. When they were served the i ce cream , Yong H ui began to l ok il l. “I feel sick with al thi s fat and heavy food, ”she sai d, “I mi s m y vegetabl es and frui t.”Wang Peng was enjoying a second pl ate of dum pli ngs so he si ghed.“Yes,”he added, “and I woul d m i s my dum pl ings and faty pork. Don’t you get ti red qui ckl y?” “Wel, I do have to rest a l ot, ”admi tted Yong H ui. “But don’t you thi nk it woul d be better i f
