Read the Text

It is Saturday morning. Anna is sitting at a table near the window in a small cafe. The sun is shining and the birds are singing outside. Anna is reading the menu.

A friendly waiter is walking to her table. “Good morning!” he says. “What are you having today?”

“I am having a cup of coffee and a piece of cake, please,” Anna says.

Anna is looking around the cafe. An old man is reading a newspaper at the next table. Two children are drinking orange juice with their mother. A young woman is working on her laptop in the corner.

The waiter is bringing Anna’s coffee and cake. “Here you are,” he says. “Enjoy your meal!”

Anna is smiling. “Thank you!” she says. She is taking a sip of her coffee. It is hot and tasty.
