(A) The owner of an Alabama Chinese restaurant named “Good Friend” shot at a customer who plained about a bug in her egg roll Thursday night. The bullet narrowly missed 20yearold Birmingham resident Jatari Walker who told the Daily News she is scarred by the entire experience. “I can’t sleep,” she said Saturday afternoon. “And since it happened I’ve had no appetite.” Walker ordered a bination platter（大淺盤） and egg roll from the Good Friend Chinese and Seafood Restaurant on Dennison Ave. Thursday evening. After paying her $7 bill she went back to her car and discovered a fly inside. “I thought I need to take this back,” she said. The customer went back and asked for a repayment and said the owner Chun Hin Ching, 52, was unhappy with her because she announced her discovery in front of other customers.

That’s when Ching drew a handgun and fired a single shot over her head. “He just shot the gun at me and I ran,” she said, adding she could feel the bullet whiz past her head.

Many people were dying to know the secrets to his fantastic achievements. To unveil the mystery, a newspaper reporter interviewed him asking why he was able to be so much more creative than the average person. What set him so far apart from others? Having assumed to hear wordings like innate curiosity for science or hard work, the reporter was surprised to have him respond that, in his opinion, it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about four years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip on the slippery bottle and it fell, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor a real sea of milk! When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or chastising him, she said, Steve, what a great and wonderful mess you have made!
