Chapter 2 Slurping Tea from A Plate

When Fabian and Francis were four years old and Francis two two years old their father always took them for tea early in the morning on his big bicycle.

Both brothers sat tightly on the bicycle bar while their father slowly pushed the bicycle to the restaurant namely Cheong Kee just in front of the market.On arriving at that restaurant their father arranged both to a seat each and ordered his cup of tea,he also ordered some roasted pork buns and dim sum.

When the tea came,he poured some into a small plate and remaining left in the cup.Very often Fabian was given the small plate and the brother the other half cup.Fabian on receiving his share of tea on a plate will bend towards it to blow it,just to cool it.

When sufficiently cool enough Fabian slurped the tea into his mouth.The tea sure tasted very sweet and nice.The noise he made while slurping made younger brother laughed heartily.

Well,there was time while slurping his tea he accidently blew the tea all over the table and at times splashing on Francis face and shirt.For that he got a scolding from their father.Warning him next time - no more tea for him.This made Fabian very sad and he put up a long faced that made Francis laughed hilariously.Anyway,those were the days.
