Trouble at the Restaurant
During the holidays, Max is visiting his grandparents who own a small restaurant. This is great because Max can eat in the restaurant every day and choose what he wants from the menu. Today, he chose chicken and potatoes. As a drink, he ordered lemonade and for dessert he is having a large serving of ice cream.
At midday, his grandparents’ restaurant is not very busy yet. Only a few guests are there. Apart from Max, there is only one other guest in the restaurant – an elderly woman. She has just asked for the bill but she is still drinking her coffee. Max’s grandfather, who is the waiter, has just printed out the bill at the till and has put it on the tray which also holds Max’s ice cream.
Suddenly, someone is screaming in the kitchen. First, a cat comes running through the restaurant. Then, the cook runs after it. Oh no! The cat has stolen a fish from the kitchen and is racing towards the door. The cook, who was about to cook the fish, is chasing after the cat angrily.
“Lucky that the cat wanted fish today and not chicken,” Max thought to himself.
