Who is doing what in a restaurant?

                                                WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A DETECTIVE?

Many young boys and girls would like to be detectives.

Do you remember Inspector J?

Oh yes, he can solve any crime — just name it! But he has a very busy life. His phone rings all day long because there are a lot of people who need his help. He tries hard to help everybody and he never says no.

He always gets up before 5 am because he has a lot of work to do. He usually jogs for an hour to keep fit. The rest of the day he is so busy that he often skips lunch or dinner.

In the morning, he usually talks to suspects, he examines things, and he catches criminals.

The rest of the day he works undercover. Sometimes he acts as a kindergarten teacher and teaches little children. Sometimes he is a pilot and he flies a plane, or he is a waiter and serves meals in a restaurant.

And he never goes to bed before 12.30. Sometimes he even works all night. Only on Sunday he has got some rest. Then he sits in front of his TV and he always watches detective films to learn new detective tricks. You see, he is busy even when he relaxes at home.

So, if you want to be a detective too, you must be brave, hard-working, clever and a good actor. Are you?
