It is Mrs. Brown's birthday. Mr. and Mrs. Brown are at their favorite Chinese restaurant, China Jade. They rarely go out to eat. It is expensive to eat out. They only eat out on special days. Mrs. Brown is forty years old today, so it is a very special day.

China Jade is a small restaurant. However, it is quite clean and beautiful. There are about ten tables in the restaurant. On each table, there is a red flower. The Browns came here for the first time three years ago. They came to celebrate their friend Robert's birthday. They fell in love with this small restaurant at that time.

Yan is the headwaiter (侍者领班) here. He works very hard and he enjoys his job. He likes telling jokes and many customers (顾客) like him. He knows that it is Mrs. Brown's birthday and he wants the dinner to be very special. He brings Mr. and Mrs. Brown a menu. Then he helps them order.
