Read the letter to Nelson Hunter's column.  Then check the correct answers. Something nice happened last weekend.  I was with my girlfriend in a really expensive restaurant.  We were celebrating our birthdays.  Anyway, while we were looking at the menus, a cell pone rang.  It was the guy next to us.  When he finished his conversation, he and his wife got up right away, paid the bill, and left the restaurant.  A few minutes later, the owner of the restaurant came to our table.  He asked if we wanted a free dinner.  The meal was from the peple at the next table.  They had to leave because they had an emergency, and they didn't have time to eat anything.  It was a really big meal for two people - salad, steak, everything.  So we had a delicious dinner, and we didn't have to pay for it!Rick HOlden
