Dinner at a restaurant

Last Saturday, Ben and Lucy went to a small Italian restaurant near their house. The waiter brought the menu and a bottle of mineral water. Lucy ordered mushroom soup as a starter. Ben has never eaten mushrooms, so he asked for a salad with fresh tomatoes and olive oil.

For the main course, Lucy had grilled chicken and Ben had spaghetti with garlic. While they were eating, the people at the next table were singing for a friend's birthday. Ben's fork fell on the floor, and the waiter brought a new one.

For dessert, Lucy wanted some ice cream, but there wasn't any. So she had a pear cake with cream. Ben only had a coffee, because he wasn't hungry any more. They think it was a really good meal! They paid, thanked the waiter and walked home.
