Eating Dinner at the Man Yuen Restaurant

Chance and me love to eat Szechwan food. My favouritest food is General Tao's chicken. I hope I meet him one day and thank him for his chicken. It's yummy and that's one of the four food groups in Canada's Food Guide.

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy, Grandpa James. He's really old. He was the second Canadian to get off Noah's Ark, you know.

Oh. Wait! Chance lives with us, too. He's a newborn cubby someone left in a basket on our doorstep. He's a wee little thing. I look after Chance, too. He's a handful!

Guess where we are? We're at Man Yuen Restaurant. They make Chinese food. It's so yummy! Man Yuen is on Sandwich Street in Olde Sandwich Towne. That's in Windsor. I know where Windsor is. It's in O Canada. We can walk to Man Yuen from our house. I l-o-v-e to eat at Man Yuen. I like everything.

I know how to use chopsticks. Chopsticks are fun. I use them instead of a fork. We learned how to use chopsticks at the Scruffy Maple Day Care Centre. Miss Sephorah is our teacher. She knows everything! I will tell you a secret. I think Miss Sephorah might be a princess.

Chance is so newborn he doesn't have any teeth. He just drinks chocolate owls' milk from his bottle.

Miss Flora is our server. Servers have very important jobs. They bring us food to eat. Miss Flora brings us egg foo yong.

We eat and eat and eat. That's 'cuz we're hungry as bears. Grandpa James says, "Slow down, Charles! My dear! Mind your manners, my son! Don't wolf your food down." Grandpa James says silly things sometimes. I'm not a wolf. I'm a bear cub!

Oh. Wait! Did you hear that? Grandpa James is hollering, "Where are my handsome bear cubs? Where are my Sons of Windsor? Where are my Princes of Ontario? That's me! Charles! That's Chance! We're handsome bear cubs. We're Sons of Windsor and Princes of Ontario! We gotta go find Grandpa James so we can get our ears tickled and our noses kissed.

This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Be good citizens. Pick up trash and garbage. Then you can eat Smarties and drink root beer. Oh! Wait! Come over to our house and play with us! We can go to Man Yuen and say "Hi!" to Flora and Dave, too! Okay! Over and out!"

When we eat at Man Yuen we always say "Hi!" to Dave. I think he's a boss.
