Luckily, I succeeded every time. This time I did as usual. bar should have this kind of ice cream. But as soon as Lisa heard me, she said, “Didn’t you read the menu? There I had a look at the menu and asked for a dish of vanilla ice cream. I thought it was safe. A place like this isn’t any vanilla ice cream at all.” After I heard this, my face turned red. And I had to tell them the truth(真相). “Dyslexia is quite common, Betty. My friend’s daughter had this problem four years ago, but she is better now,” Lisa’s mother said to me.
