Question

At noon the rush hour passed. There were few guests（顧客) in the snack bar. It was not crowded. When the boss of the snack bar was ready to have a rest to read a newspaper, in came an old lady and a little boy.

“How much money is a bowl of beef soup?” the grandma sat down, counted the money in her purse and ordered a bowl of beef soup. The grandma pushed the bowl to the little boy, who swallowed（吞咽) his saliva（口水), looking at his grandma and saying, “Grandma, did you really have lunch?” “Of course.” His grandma chewed（咀嚼) a piece of radish (蘿卜泡菜) slowly. Very quickly, the little boy ate up the meal.

Seeing this, the boss went over to them and said, “Old lady, congratulations, you are lucky to have the free（免費(fèi)的) food, because you are our 100^th guest.”

Afterwards, over a month or more, one day, the small boy squatted（蹲) across the snack bar, where he seemed to be counting something, The boss felt shocked（震驚的） when he happened to look out of the window.

When the small boy saw a guest walk into the snack bar, he would put a small stone into the circle he drew, but the lunch time had almost passed, there were only about 50 small stones in the circle.

The boss was quite worried and called up all his old guests. The guests started coming one after another.

“81, 82, 83…” the small boy counted faster and faster. At last, after he put the 99^th stone into the circle, he hurried to pull his grandma’s hand and went into the snack bar.

“Grandma, this time it’s on me.” the little boy said proudly. The grandma who was the real 100^th guest was served（被供應(yīng)) a bowl of soup by her grandson. As his grandma as before, the little boy chewed a piece of radish in his mouth.
