Mrs. Jenkins looked at all the dishes and said with a smile, “You are very kind, Helena. What a big meal!”

Claudia Jenkins said, “Mrs. Chambers, we will eat anything. When we are at home, my mom always asks the servants to prepare Chinese food for us. We are not used to eating American hamburgers and cheese because we always think they are not as good as authentic Chinese food.”

Mrs. Chambers were even happier and said, “Nice. I’ve worried that you might not be used to Chinese food.”
