So last weekend some friends invited us to stay with them.
We were happy to accept their invitation, and we stayed at their house.
The next day we went out for lunch.
When the bill came my friend said, ‘don’t worry, we will invite you.’
Invite us? I was confused.
Invite us where? Invite us to what?
‘We want to pay the bill,’ my friend said, looking at me seriously.
Ahhh, now I understood!
But they didn’t want to invite us! They wanted to treat us!
‘Yes, exactly. It’s our treat,’ he said.
I told him that it was very kind of them to treat us to lunch.
When was the last time you treated someone to lunch?
