Time Works Wonders

Once a man went to a restaurant. “Bring me a regular three-course dinner,” he ordered the waiter, a very young lad. Time passed but the lad with the dinner didn’t appear. “How long shall I have to wait?”, wondered the customer. At that moment the boy came running in with a plate of soup on a tray. “Are you the very lad whom I ordered a three-course dinner?”, – asked the customer both hungry and cross. “Yes, sir, I am”, answered the waiter. “Dear me!”, exclaimed the hungry customer, “I don’t recognize you! You have grown quite a man since that time!”

VIII. Reproduce the following changing Indirect Speech into Direct Speech.

A Frenchman was once traveling in England. He could speak quite well but not perfectly. His vocabulary was not large. Once, for example, he had a lunch at a small country inn and he wanted to order some eggs. But he did not know the word for eggs. Suddenly, through the window he saw a cock walking in the yard. He immediately asked the waiter what the bird was called in English. The waiter told him that it was called a cock. The Frenchman then asked what the cook’s wife was called. The waiter told him that it was called a hen. The Frenchman then asked what the hen’s children were called. The waiter told him that they were called chickens. The Frenchman then asked what they were called before they were born. The waiter told him they were called eggs. “Fine!”, – said the Frenchman. “Please, bring me two – plus a cup of coffee and some toast.”
