RODERICK: Please don39。t worry about that. It39。s my first trip here. RODERICK: I wonder, Mr Adams, if you39。s restaurant is always the same, so I wonder if it is made or brought in from elsewhere. Although it is freshly cooked, it must be less healthy than our own locally grown and cooked Chinese food.I also worry about all those cars bringing people to buy food at McDonald39。t offer enough bodybuilding and energygiving food. Perhaps we ought to bine our ideas and provide a balanced menu with food full of energy and fibre. So that is what they did. They served raw vegetables with the hamburgers and boiled the potatoes rather than frying them. They served fresh fruit with the ice cream. In this way they cut down the fat and increased the fibre in the meal. Their balanced diets became such a success that before long Wang Peng became slimmer and Yong Hui put on more weight. After some time the two found that their business cooperation had turned into a personal one. Finally they got married and lived happily ever after.FOR BUILDING A MCDONALD’SI was excited when I heard that our munity was to have its own McDonald39。 I don39。t love me. I39。s Day and Hu Jin had said she would meet him at the coffee shop after work. But she didn39。s festivals have many origins, some religious, some seasonal, and some for special people or events.Festivals of the Dead Some festivals are held to honour the dead or to satisfy the ancestors, who might return either to help or to do harm. For the Japanese festival Obon, people should go to clean graves and light incense in memory of their ancestors. They also light lamps and play music because they think that this will lead the ancestors back to earth. In Mexico, people celebrate the Day of the Dead in early November. On this important feast day, people eat food in the shape of skulls and cakes with bones on them. They offer food, flowers and gifts to the dead. The Western holiday Halloween also had its origin in old beliefs about the return of the spirits of dead people. It is now a children39。, the weaving girl. While she was on earth she met the herd boy Niulang and they fell in love. (Just like me and Hu Jin, thought Li Fang.) They got married secretly, and they were very happy. (We could be like that, thought Li Fang.) When the Goddess of Heaven knew that her granddaughter was married to a human, she became very angry and made the weaving girl return to Heaven. Niulang tried to follow her, but the river of stars, the Milky Way, stopped him. Finding that Zhinii was heartbroken, her grandmother finally decided to let the couple cross the Milky Way to meet once a year. Magpies make a bridge of their wings so the couple can cross the river to meet on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. People in China hope that the weather will be fine on that day, because if it is raining, it means that Zhin252。ve been waiting for you for a long time! And I have a gift for you! What would he do? He had thrown away her Valentine gifts! She would never forgive him. This would not be a happy Valentine39。t you get tired quickly? Well, I do have to rest a lot, admitted Yong Hui. But don39。s says they are interested in doing what is right for the munity and being a good neighbour. So I think they will be concerned about providing parking for the cars in our main street. Many of our young people will be only too happy to work for the pany. McDonald39。s does not allow workers39。t say that I have any plans. I39。t quite follow you, sir. RODERICK: Tell us, Mr Adams, what sort of work did you do in America? HENRY: I worked for a mining pany. Could you offer me some kind of work here? RODERICK: Patience, Mr Adams. If you don39。t care about you. Oliver, give him the letter. OLIVER: Yes, the letter. (gets it from a desk and gives it to Henry like a gift) The letter. HENRY: (taking it carefully) For me? RODERICK: For you. (Henry starts to open it) Oh, no, you mustn39。ve given you the letter. James, show Mr Adams out. OLIVER: Good luck, Mr Adams. HENRY: Well, why don39。d also like a cup of coffee and a pineapple dessert.WAITER: Right, sir. I39。s asked for more of the same. OWNER: Well, it is wellknown that Americans like to eat a lot. Well, we39。clock. (he opens the envelope and holds a million pound bank note in his hands. Henry is surprised but the owner and waiter are shocked) I39。s a very strange, rich man. (as if he has discovered something for the first time) Why, yes! That must be it!HOSTESS: (hits her husband39。s very kind of you. OWNER: Kind, sir? No, it39。 and then what39。s be going now, Portia. OLIVER: But wait, wait! The job, you know. I must give you a job, as I promised. HENRY: Well, thank you very much, but I really don39。s stepfather took that bank note. back to the Bank of England and cashed it. The bank note was then useless for money but was his wedding gift to the young couple. Yes, the bank note was worth millions of dollars, but not worth one tenth as much as how Henry felt about Portia.
