9、 “We came from Hamburger.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburger ate. Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “ hamburgers”. Today “hamburgers

16、 few of us know that it is just his own fault.Have you ever found that some people cant read or write but usually they have better memories?
