Question

I walked past a bustling, brightly lit dim sum shop. Such a wonderful aroma was

wafting through the door! Through the plate-glass window, I saw roast ducks,

soya-sauce chickens, and hunks of glistening meat hanging from hooks. There

was a young chef wielding his cleaver and deftly chopping a duck into bite-sized

pieces on a wooden block. Wouldn’t it be heavenly to be given a slice of meat?

But that might be too much to hope for. I would be quite content with a piece of

bone to chew on. As I salivated, I imagined the taste of the food sliding down my

throat. Breakfast seemed such a long time ago!
