灘高校（２）笑い話
次の文を読み、下に与えられた問に答えなさい。（２５）
A young man had a new girl-friend whom he wanted to impress, so he invited her to a
well-known restaurant with him one evening. They dined wonderfully and had numerous drinks;
they danced until midnight, and there was a polished musical entertainment. The girl had a
good time during the entire evening, and was impressed by everything she saw, including
several film stars.
Then the waiter brought the bill at the end of the evening, and when the young man saw
how much he had to pay, he was so shocked by the total that he went as white as a sheet.
The helpful waiter, who was watching his face, thought he might be going to faint, so he
quickly poured out a glass of ice-cold water and emptied it over the young man’s head. Then
he took the bill back and added to it. ‘’Iced-water 50p’.
* 50p =５０ペンス（イギリスのお金 約１００円）
