It was my birthday last Thursday and I decided to 41 by inviting a few friends out to supper. I　 42 a restaurant in a quiet part of town. It is one of my favorite restaurants because the food is good and the waiters are friendly. It is hardly ever crowded, because 43　 people know about it, so it is not usually necessary to book a table. In any case, Thursday is not a busy evening　 44 .

　 When we entered the restaurant, I was surprised to find it completely 　45 . I looked around but not a 　46　 table was free. One of the waiters recognized me. He came across and explained the situation. "A number of tourists came in about 　 47　 ago." he said. "It was like an invasion! 48 the place was full! We can hardly manage."

　 The waiter then 　49 a table in the corner. "The people there 50 " he said, "Just hold on and you will　 51　 a place there." He was right. Fifteen minutes later, the people 52　 the corner table paid their bill, got up and left. I led my friends across and we all sat down.

　 Unfortunately our table was almost out of sight. We tried to attract the attention of the waiter who sent us there, but he, like　 53　 waiters,　 54　 the party of tourists. They ordered lots of food. But at last, an hour later, the tourists were finishing their meal and looking very 　55 with life. The waiter, now very tired, appeared at our table. I advised my friends about the best dishes and finally the waiter went off with our 　 56 .

　 A few moments later he 　57　 to our table. We could tell from his face that he had 　58 for us.　 59 a little embarrassed(尷尬的) he told us that there was 　60　 left. "All we can offer you" he said, "is an omelet!(煎蛋卷)"
