ENJOY READING! 4 The Restaurant of Many Orders
p. 126, 127 本文音声
DID YOU PUT CREAM ON YOUR EARS, TOO?//
 The first man said,/“Oh! I forgot to do my ears.// They might become chapped.”//
 “The owner of this restaurant is really thoughtful,”/the second man agreed.// They both applied more cream to their ears/as they thought about the delicious dishes they would soon eat.//
 “I can’t believe there are so many long corridors.// I wonder if we’ll ever have dinner?”/complained the first man.// Just as he spoke,/they reached another door with a sign and an elegant bottle beside it.//
THE MEAL IS ALMOST READY.// BUT FIRST,/
PLEASE DAB ON SOME COLOGNE.//

 They splashed the cologne on their cheeks and necks.// Then they noticed/that it smelled sour, almost like vinegar.//
 “I think the staff put the wrong cologne in this bottle.// It stinks like vinegar,” said the first man/as he pushed open another door and found another sign.//
WE APOLOGIZE FOR SO MANY ORDERS,/
BUT YOU’RE ALMOST DONE.//

PLEASE TAKE SOME SALT FROM THE
POT/AND RUB IT ALL OVER.//

 A blue pot sat next to the sign,/but this time the men didn’t move.// Rub salt all over?// They stared at each other/with puzzled expressions.// Their faces were covered in cream/and they smelled of vinegar.//
 “I don’t like the look of this,”/said the first man nervously.//
 “Neither do I,”/said the second man.// “This is suspicious.// They’re not taking our order.// They’re giving us orders.// They’re not serving food.// I think they’re serving… us!”//
 The men began to shiver in fear.//
 “Let’s get out!” shouted the second man.// He pushed the door behind him but it didn’t move.//
 Then the first man screamed, “Look!”// He was pointing at another door.// This one had a knife and fork carved on it/with two keyholes and a new sign.//
WE’RE DELIGHTED TO SEE YOU.// JUST COME INSIDE/
THEN DINNER WILL BE SERVED.//

 And looking out of the holes/were two big blue eyeballs!// Terrified, both men burst into tears.// Then they heard someone whispering/on the other side of the door.//
 “They’re not rubbing on the salt.// I think they’ve figured it out,”/said an irritated voice.//
 “It’s that ridiculous sign the boss made,/‘WE APOLOGIZE FOR SO MANY ORDERS.’// I told you it would give us away,”/said another.//
