The Restaurant of Many Orders
Two young men were hunting in the countryside.//
They wore uniforms and held guns.//
They had a professional guide/and two large white hunting dogs that looked like polar bears.//
“We have seen no birds or animals,” said one man.//
“I want to get a deer,” said the other.//
“That would be fun!”//
They were in the depths of the mountains.//
Soon the men couldn’t see their guide.//
Then their hunting dogs became sick/and fell to the ground.//
“Those dogs cost a fortune/— and we haven’t shot anything!”/complained the first man.//
“It’s getting cold and I’m hungry.//
Let’s go home,” grumbled the other.//
They turned and headed home/leaving the dogs behind.//
But the path was confusing/and soon they were lost.//
“Where are we?” asked the first man.//
“I have no idea,” answered the second.//
“We’re walking around in circles.”//
Suddenly a strong wind blew.//
The tree branches swayed/and an elegant brick building appeared.//
“Look!” shouted the first man over the wind,/“Maybe we can get something to eat.”//
At the entrance was a sign.//
RESTAURANT WILDCAT//
A restaurant in the middle of the forest?//
What luck!//
They found a glass door in the entrance/with a sign in gold letters.//
PLEASE COME IN.//
DO NOT HESITATE.//
They pushed open the glass door/and discovered a long corridor before them.//
They followed it/and found another sign in yellow on a blue door.//
OUR RESTAURANT HAS MANY ORDERS.//
PLEASE BE PATIENT.//
“Many orders?//
This place must be popular!” the first man said.//
The second man replied,/“Imagine finding such a wonderful restaurant!”//
They strolled to the end of the entrance hall/and found another door.//
Next to this door,/there was a mirror and a long-handled brush.//
On the door was a sign in crimson letters.//
PLEASE CLEAN YOUR BOOTS/
AND COMB YOUR HAIR.//
“Clean our boots?//
Comb our hair?”/complained the second man.//
