B. At last one of the men said, "I know we'll have a race. If you win, you can pay. If I win, I'll pay. They were both very happy. They asked Mr Plainy to be their referee and he agreed.
C. Mr Plainy brought them the bill. It came to more than $200. The men began to argue about who was going to pay. Both of them wanted to pay. "You must let me pay," said the first man. "No, no," said the second man. "I'll pay." "No, it's only $200. That's nothing, I want to pay," said the first man.
D. Mr Plainy, the proprietor of an expensive London restaurant, got a nasty surprise last week and it was an expensive one, too.
E. The three of them went outside. The first man said, "We'll race to the end of the street and back again." The men got down on their hands and knees. Mr Plainy shouted, "One, two, three, go!" Both men started running. He never saw them again.
