Lesson 226

3) An English family in China Many years ago, an English family lived in China. One evening, an important Chinese official came for a visit. It was getting late, and he still had not left, so his hostess invited him for dinner. But there was very little food in the house, so she quickly went to the kitchen and talked to her Chinese cook. He said, "Everything's alright, you'll dine very well." When they all sat down at the dinner table, the lady was very surprised, because there was a lot of good / fine food on the table. After dinner, the lady went to the kitchen and said to the cook, "How could you prepare such a good meal in half an hour?" "I did not prepare it, ma'am," he said. "I sent one of the servants to the Chinese official's house and he brought his dinner."
