Tom and Mike were good friends. Sometimes they were kind to each other, sometimes they were not. But some of their classmates said they were like brothers. One day they went out for a walk together. At noon they were very hungry and they went into a restaurant to have lunch. The waiter came up to them and asked, “What can I do for you?” “Please bring us two hamburgers first,” said Tom. When the waiter put the two hamburgers on the table, Mike took the bigger one at once. Tom got angry. “You are impolite(不礼貌的). Why didn’t you take the smaller one?” Tom said. “But I was right,” said Mike with a smile. “If I let you take first, which one will you choose?” “Of course I’ll take the smaller one,” said Tom. “Yes,” Mike said. “If you take the smaller one, the bigger one will be mine. Don’t you think so” “Oh.” Tom couldn’t answer.
