Once there was a boy. He loved sweets very much. He always asked his father for sweets.

The boy's father thought hard about how to stop the child from asking for so many sweets. A great man lived nearby. The boy's father decided to take the boy to him. He might be able to make the child give up sweets.

So they went to the great man. The father asked the great man to help him. But the great man liked sweets himself. He told the father to bring his son back after a month.

During the month, the great man tried to give up eating sweets. At last he did it. When the boy and his father returned after a month, the great man had a talk with the boy. From then on, the boy did not ask for sweets any more.

The boy's father felt surprised, “Why didn't you ask my son to give up sweets when we came to you a month ago?” The man answered, “How could I ask a boy to give up sweets when I loved sweets myself? In the last month I gave up eating sweets. ”

A person's example is always stronger than words. We should not ask others to do what we can't do ourselves.

Many visitors may feel confused(困惑的)when they are reading the menu in a restaurant in America, for the names of the dishes look unfamiliar to most visitors. Here are some points which may be useful.

Fried mushroom and fried onion rings are sometimes served as starters. Potatoes most often come "French-fried" or baked. If you order ‘a baked potato, the waiter will ask you what you want on it. The choice is butter or cream. Very often vegetables do not come automatically with the meal, and you have to pay extra for them. "Scrod"(小鳕鱼), "red snapper" and "mahi hahi" are all names of fish. "Seafood" means lobster, shellfish and fish. American beef is usually good and often wonderful.

You have probably heard that in American restaurants, if you can't finish your meal, you can put the food left in a "dogey bag" and take it home. This is quite true. American people don't like wasting food. If you leave some meat, your waiter may ask you if you'd like to put it into "a little bag", or you can ask him to do this.
