When Peter and Rose Malupa came to the United States from the Philippines, they lived in an apartment in the center of Chicago. Rose worked as an accountant (会计) in a downtown bank.
After looking for a long time, Peter and Rose bought a house in the suburbs(郊区).
One morning, Mrs. Todd, the Malupas, next-door neighbor, stopped by to meet Rose, “Welcome to the neighborhood. We'd like to invite you and your husband to our home this Saturday evening. We want you to meet all the neighbors.”
On Saturday night, at 7 o'clock Peter and Rose walked to the Todds' home. Lots of people were at the party. Several people congratulated Rose and Peter on their new home.
About 8:30, Peter walked over to Rose and asked, “when will they serve dinner? I'm really hungry.”
“I don't know,” Rose answered. “I'm hungry, too. Maybe they like to eat late.”
At 9:15, everyone was still standing, talking and enjoying the refreshments(点心). Peter was feeling weak. He was so hungry. Rose brought Peter a bowl of crackers(饼干) and some cheese. By 10 o'clock, Peter was sick of crackers. And he was still very hungry.
Some guests started leaving, Peter and Rose were surprised. One guest said to Mr. Todd, “Thanks for inviting us to the party. We had a good time.”
Then Rose realized her mistake. She whispered to Peter, “This is a neighborhood party, not a dinner party. I made a mistake. All the other guests ate dinner before they came here.”
Peter and Rose quickly thanked the Todds for the party. They grabbed (取下) their coats and left. They walked back home, got into their car and drove to a nearby shopping center. The Italian restaurant was closed and the Chinese restaurant was closed. “What are we going to do?” Peter asked.
