They were a happy family: four daughters were allin the same school in different grades. The youngest, Janice, who was in my class, seemed to be glued to her mother’s skirts．Theirthree older girls took the bus to school everymorning, but Janice was always driven to schoolbyher mother.
One Friday, Janice's mother asked for a talk with me. She said in a soft voice,"My husband is going to Europe on business for two weeks, and heinsists that I go with him. I have tried to explainover and over that Janice needs me here. But he thinks that she will be fine without me, so I have no choice, I have to go. I have told the babysitter todrive her every morning. Will you please giveJanice special attention and help her? I want to besure everything goes well for her."
I told her that we would make every effort tosupport Janice. I even volunteered to meet Janiceat her car so she would see a familiar face. As amother myself, I'd like to help. Janice’s motherthanked me for our understanding.
On Monday morning, expecting a tearfulanxious child, I planned a special program of funand games. I waited outside to greet Janice, butjust then the bus arrived and not three, but fourgirls got off. Janice skipped along joyfully, saying“goodbye” to her sisters as she ran with two friends into the classroom. I walked slowly into theclassroom and called Janice over to ask how thebus ride went. Impatiently she said, “Oh, I alwayswant to take the bus with the other kids. ButMother needs to be with me. You see there won’t be any more babies, so I have to be a baby a littlelonger. While she is away, I'll just ridethe busevery day. I am five, you know.”

To: The Manager of Mezzo Mash Restaurant
Dear Sir,
Last Tuesday evening I went with two friends to your restaurant for my 18th birthday. I ’d booked the table for eight o’ clock and we arrived about ten minutes late, but that was not a problem.The waiter, who was very polite, showed us to our table and we studied the menu. I ordered a fish pie and my friends ordered some salads. However, after about fifteen minutes, the waiter told us that there was no more fish pie. He apologized and suggested ordering something else. I looked at the menu again and decided to have the same as my friends－a salad.
When the food came, it was very good. After we finished, we decided to order some desserts（餐后甜点）. The waiter said that, unluckily, it was too late. There wasn’t enough time for us to order desserts. He said he was very sorry but our table was booked by another group at nine thirty and we would have to leave.
We paid the bill and left feeling very unhappy. It ruined my birthday. Nobody told us when we arrived that there was a time limit (限制). It was very unsatisfactory and I doubt that We’ll go to your restaurant again.
Yours faithfully,
Martin Cary
