   Then a small boy came into the restaurant and sat at the man’s table.

   The waiter came up and said to the man, “What would your little boy like, sir?”

   “Oh, just an ice cream, ” the man told him. Then he said to the waiter, “I’m just going out to buy a newspaper.”

   He left the restaurant. The waiter gave the boy an ice cream. The boy ate it, and then stood up and walked to the door.

   The waiter ran to him.

   “Excuse me,” he said, “but your father hasn’t come back and he hasn’t paid for his meal or for your ice cream.”

   “I’m sorry,” The young boy said, “He’s not my father, I don’t know who he is.”

   The waiter did not understand. “What do you mean?” he asked.

   “The man came up to me in the street, ” the boy said. “He asked me if I liked ice cream. I told him I did. Then he told me to come into the restaurant at 2:00pm and sit down at his table. He said he’d give me some.”

When I was leaving to meet Lynne, my friend Tony told me that I’d better take some money. But I didn't listen to him. I thought Lynne would pay because she had invited me. I arrived at the restaurant on time. I know Americans expect you to be on time. Lynne and I sat at a table and a waiter brought us some delicious food.
The dinner was a great success. We talked a lot while eating. After two hours, the waiter finally came and asked if we wanted one check (账单）or two, Lyrme said two. We went to the cashier and Lynne paid her check. I was embarrassed when the cashier gave me my bill. I had no money to pay for my meal. Then I had an idea. I said，“Oh! I forgot my wallet! Can I call my friend, please?" The cashier showed me where the phone was and I quickly called Tony. In a few minutes, he arrived with some money, and paid my check. He laughed at me all the way home. Now, I think it's funny too, but at that time I was very embarrassed. I thought an invitation to  have dinner in America meant the same thing as that in China.
