Lucy and Helen were good friends. They were in the same class at school and often visited each other at home on weekends. When they were both eight years old, Lucy's mother gave birth to a baby. Lucy was overjoyed to have a little sister and always talked to Helen about it, who had no brothers or sisters. At first, Helen was very interested in the new baby, but after a while, she found it boring. She was also a little jealous. When the two girls were playing in the schoolyard one morning, Lucy enthusiastically said to her friend: "You know, Helen? My little sister has gained almost two hundred grams this week." "That's not a lot," Helen replied. "I know a baby that is gaining five kilograms a day." "Oh, that can't be true," Lucy replied contemptuously. "Whose baby is it?" "An elephant’s," said Helen.

The young waiter had spoken to someone at the bar when she came in and at first didn't pay attention to her because he hadn't looked at her properly. Then he turned and saw how beautiful she was. His face turned bright red and he hurried to take her order. "I want coffee without cream, please!" Jane said. The waiter hurried out and came back a few minutes later without the coffee. "I'm very sorry," he said, "but we have no cream. Would you like your coffee without milk?"
