One Sunday morning, my family and I went to a popular restaurant for breakfast. As soon as we walked into

Restaurant Happy Meal, a young waitress showed us to a table.

We ordered our food and soon after, our food came. Just as we were about to begin our meal, we heard

someone shouting for the boss.

“What is this? A dead fly in my food!’’ a man with a deep scar (疤) acrosshis face shouted angrily. He strongly

hit his fist on the table and swept the plates and cups off it.Thesecame crashing to the floor, breaking into pieces.

His companion, a huge man with a tattoo on his arm, stared angrily at the boss who stood nervously in front of the

two gangsters (歹徒).

The boss apologized repeatedly to the angry customers and tried to calm them down by offering to replace

their food. He even told them that they could have their meal for free.

The commotion(混乱) affected the business of the restaurant. Fearing that aquarrel would happen, many

customers quickly paid for their meals and left the restaurant hurriedly. Some of them had not even finished their

breakfast.

our food within minutes. That was probably the quietest and fastest breakfast my family ever had.

glance at them.
