~ Reading Test ~

           It was lunchtime, and the Johns had nothing to eat at home, so they decided to eat out. They went to a very cheap Restaurant. There were lots of people inside, but the waiter managed hard to find them a table. Everything went OK until the food was served. Suddenly Mrs Johns looked at the meal in front of her and told her husband, "This food is too disgusting to eat, look there's something walking on my steak!" Immediately Mr. Johns called on the waiter and showed him the bug, the waiter smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Sir! I will take care of this right away”. He took the bug and threw it away, and said, "I am sorry, but I assure you, this bug isn't ours… It surely came with you Madam." Mrs. Johns got angry, stood up and walked away without a word. The surprised waiter asked Mr Johns about it, and Mr Johns said, "Don’t worry Sir; She got nervous because you've just killed her lovely pet!”
