Alphy had no trouble selling the sleighs. LeRoy helped him unload them and then they went to a restaurant to eat. It was by now late in the day and they were both very hungry. When they ordered their meal, the waitress told them that the special also came with a glass of tomato juice. Alphy responded, “We’ll have two of the specials.”

When their meal was served, Alphy and LeRoy ate hungrily. LeRoy looked at the tomato juice. It looked very good, but he only tasted it. When they were done of their meal, the waitress cleaned off the table, she also took the glass of tomato juice which LeRoy had barely tasted. Then Alphy and LeRoy started for home.

During the drive home, Alphy commented to LeRoy, “You didn’t like the tomato juice?”

LeRoy responded, “I was saving the best for the last.” Alphy asked him why he wouldn’t speak up and tell the waitress. LeRoy acknowledged that he should have, but it was too

late now.

Alphy told LeRoy, “Don’t be so shy next time.”
