　　COME AND EAT HERE (2)

　　A week later, Wang Peng's restaurant was nearly full and he felt happier.Perhaps he would be able to earn his living① after all② and not have to close his restaurant.He did not look forward to being③ in debt④ because his restaurant was no longer⑤ popular.He smiled as he welcomed some customers warmly at the door but the smile left his face when he saw Yong Hui walking in⑥.She did not look happy but glared⑦ at him."May I ask what you were doing in my restaurant the other day⑧？ I thought you were a new customer⑨ and now I know that you only came to spy on ⑩me and my menu，" she shouted."Please excuse me，" he calmly explained, "I wanted to know where all my customers had gone last week.I followed one of them and found them in your restaurant.I don't want to upset you, but I found your menu so limited⑪ that⑫ I stopped worrying and started advertising the benefits⑬ of my food.Why don't you sit down and try a meal？"
