Teacher's comments: Very interesting story. But from what I understand, Wangpeng ordered everything with meat. Liyou wants Mapo Doufu without meat, but the restaurant didn't have the dish. So she would not be able to eat anything except the cooked rice. Is that how the story about?

 * Below are some prop ideas for the skit: **

- Maybe a sign that says the name of the restaurant - someone can hold it up before we start the skit - For the table where 王朋 and 李友 are sitting, we can put two desks together - A paper and pen for the waitress to take the order - Two menus (on the menu we can list the dishes NingNing has to order so he doesn't have to memorize all of them) - Two pairs of chopsticks - Another table near the chef, where he could be shown preparing the food - Some plates and bowls to represent food - we should somehow differentiate between the rice and the other dishes - Three cups of cold drinks and one cup of tea - Some fake money - A bottle of "poison" - The check - A chef's hat would be nice - Kali will dress up as a waitress -Dressing up in the appropriate outfits for your part.


 * English Overview:**

Two acquaintances, 王朋， and 李友 go out to a restaurant for a meal, upon arriving, they are seated and ready to order their food. While ordering, 王朋 becomes progressively irritable so much so that he drives 李友 to make some irrational decisions! It starts out with 王朋 ordering over four meat dishes even though he knows 李友 is a vegetarian. 李友 struggles to understand how 王朋 could be so rude. Not 5 minutes after ordering the food, the waiter takes their order for drinks, 王朋 again gets on the nerves of 李友 by ordering unconventional drinks with an unnecessary attitude. When the two receive their food, 王朋 hits his peak of annoying-ness by rudely and noisily critiquing the food, insulting everyone in the restaurant! Together, the waitress, chef, and 李友 hastily prepare a plot to poison 王朋! The chef poisons 王朋 dim sum, and 王朋 dramatically flounders on the floor of the restaurant. 李友 leaves with a strange feeling of pride and confidence.
