EXERCISE 2: MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE

 QUIZ...

The Fruitcake Special

I could hardly believe my ears. David Amos was telling me he loved meright under the nose of his beautiful girlfriend, Sabrina. All because of my fruitcake. I had to say something. This was getting to be silly.

"David, i really think...." I began.

But at that moment our waiter made another appearance. He was playing a guitar and singing 'O Sole Mio' to me at the top of his voice. Well, he did day he wouldn't talk loudly - I didn't say anything about singing loudly. I must remember next time.

As for Sabrina, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the sight of two men both saying how much they loved me at the same time - and while she was there.

So she hit David in the face.

The waiter sang even louder than before. David hit him on the chin. As i moved away from the table, a fight developed between Sabrina, David, the singing waiter and several more waiters who were trying to calm things down.

Soon the place was a loud, confused mess of cake, pieces of lobster, pools of wine and bits of broken guitar.

Time to go, I thought.

I ran downstairs and caught a taxi home. Thank goodness the taxi was a woman!
