Have you ever gone hungry? I did after a day of hard work. When I woke next morning, I was dying of ___. I seemed to have a hole instead of a ___. I dressed quickly and hurried down to the dinning-room. It was a big room with six tall windows and the ugliest wallpaper I had ever seen! __, I had been told the hotel was not beautiful but that you were better ____ there than in any other hotel; and that was ___ I wanted just then.
The waiter came hurrying up. Before I came downstairs I had preparedcarefully for what I must. I had looked three times in my dictionary to make sure ____the English for “breakfast”. I had tried to get the rightand I had stood in the front of a mirror and twisted my mouth until it ached.
The waiter asked meI could not understand, but I spoke only my one prepared word “breakfast”. He looked at me in away. So I repeated it. Still he did not understand. It wasthat English people didn’t understand their language. The waiterhis head and went away, but he came back in a minute and brought a tray with tea, bread and butter--- enough to feed a small army--- and went away. But I was hungry, and I left. When the waiter came back I thought his face showed a little, but you can neverwhat a waiter’s face really shows. In another minute he brought___ tray with some bacon and some eggs. He__ have misunderstood me, but I thought it was no use explaining to people who don’t understand their own language , so I just set to work on the bacon and eggs, wondering whether I could possibly clear that plate.
Well, I finished the bacon and eggs. I got up and made my way back slowly - at least five pounds. I never believed until then that any meal couldme, but on that day I met my Waterloo(滑铁卢).
