Las Vegas Part 1 Mini-Story Lesson
Hello there and welcome to the mini-story lesson for the conversation “Las Vegas Part 1.”
Let’s get started with the story.
* * * * *
Mario lived in a small town named Smallsville.
It was 1:00 a.m. and Mario was hungry. But no restaurants were open twenty-four seven.
“New York is a city that doesn’t sleep,” Mario said. So he decided to drive to New York.
He arrived in New York at 3:00 a.m. After a while he found a restaurant. He ordered a hamburger with
peanut butter.
“I like peanut butter on my hamburger,” he said to the waitress.
This totally threw the waitress off.
She said, “That’s pretty crazy. I do not know anyone who likes peanut butter on their hamburger.”
“You should try it, it kinda grows on you,” said Mario.
The waitress gave him a hamburger with peanut butter. After he was finished eating he wanted to pay
for the hamburger.
“You don’t need to pay for the hamburger. Your food is on the house,” said the waitress.
Mario was surprised. “Wow, I’ve never had a hamburger comped before,” said Mario.
Mario really liked New York. The next day he decided to stay.
