The Restaurant
1 Two years ago, Graham was working as a cook in a small café. But he dreamed of opening his own |
|
restaurant with his friend Polly. The only problem was, they didn’t have enough money. |
|
|
|
Polly studied business, so she worked out how much money they needed to borrow
and wrote a business plan. She read the plan ...
... to Graham. He didn’t know very much about business, but he thought it sounded
good. The next day he went with Polly to the bank. They explained their idea ...
... to Mr Smith, the manager, and showed him their plan. They thought the interview
was going well; however, Mr Smith refused to lend the money ...
... to them. He said that there were already a lot of places to eat in the town. He was
worried that they wouldn’t be able to pay the money back ...
... to the bank. But Polly and Graham didn’t give up. Polly said to Graham, ‘If Mr Smith
tries your food, he might let us borrow the money. We’ll ask him to bring his wife ...
... to dinner with us on Saturday evening. What is the most amazing meal you can cook?’
Graham thought carefully and described his favourite fish dish ...
... to Polly. She knew that he was a great cook, and that this was their last chance to
get the money, so she wrote an email ...
... to Mr Smith, and invited him and his wife to dinner that Saturday evening. Graham cooked the meal perfectly. Mr and Mrs Smith loved it. Mrs Smith even asked Graham to give the recipe ...
... to her. But Graham said it was a secret. He might tell her the ingredients if Mr Smith agreed to the loan. Everybody laughed. Mr Smith knew that Graham and Polly could sell this food ...
... to anybody. He believed their restaurant would be a success. The next week
Mr Smith’s bank lent enough money ...
✂ ✂ ✂ ✂ ✂ ✂ ✂ ✂
... to Polly and Graham for them to open their first restaurant. Mr Smith and his wife became regular customers.
Two years later, Polly and Graham are just about to open their second restaurant. It’s hard work, but they are very happy.
