A

Bobby Buns was a very amusing and lively waiter who had his own cafe. He was also very fortunate, because during a visit to his parents’ village he discovered that one of the young cows in the latest herd was pretty special. Instead of producing milk, this cow produced milk coffee.

Intending to make himself rich, Bobby took the cow straight to the city. When he arrived, Bobby's wife told him that first he would have to re-organize the cafe so they had a place to put the cow. Bobby was so excited and impatient that he ignored this advice, and took the cow straight to the cafe. The result was unusually great. The cow was featured in the newspapers and on TV. Customers came from far and wide to taste the delicious fresh milk coffee.

However, after the first excitement, it turned out that having a cow in the middle of a cafe was not at all comfortable. Every day the cow broke twenty or thirty cups simply by swishing its tail. The cafe smelt terrible. The hay the cow ate got spread all over the place, and the cow left so little room in the cafe that there would always be someone getting too close to the cow.

And so the cafe began to lose customers. At last Bobby almost had to close the place. And so it was, that Bobby Buns realized that he had to be more patient and organized. He should wait until everything was ready before serving his freshly milked milk coffees.

However, Bobby was a lucky sort of chap. While the cafe was being reorganized, he took the cow back to the village. There he discovered that one of the new hens laid chocolate eggs. This time he knew he had to be patient, and wait until everything was prepared, so he could have a cafe with a cow, a chicken, milk coffee, and chocolate eggs.

When this was all in place, his cafe became the most famous and successful in the whole city.

51. Where did Bobby Buns get his special cow?

A. In the market. B. In a coffee shop.

C. In the city centre. D. In his parent’s village

52. What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A. Bobby’s parents were quite rich. B. Bobby followed his wife’s advice.

C. The cow was sold at a high price. D. The public took a great interest in the cow.

53. What doe
