Reading and Writing “One-Thousand-Year-Old Eggs” and “Lion’s Head” Last Sunday Miss Harrison, our English teacher, and I went to the Summer Palace. We had a good time and didn’t leave until six o’clock in the afternoon. We were hungry and went into a restaurant. Miss Harrison wanted to order One-Thousand-Year-Old Eggs. What?! Where could we find eggs with such a long history? I was puzzled until she showed me the picture in the menu: They were just preserved eggs. I told Miss Harrison, “I’d like a dish of Lion’s Head.” This time, she was puzzled. “Do people eat lions here? I’ve never thought of eating lion meat.” I smiled and said, “Just wait and see.” When the waiter served the dish of meat balls, we both laughed.
