Sarah's Surprise: Foundations Reading Library 1

It is Sarah's first day of work at The Lagoon Cafe. Sarah serves the customers with her co-worker Ji-Sung while Mrs. Hayes, the owner, goes out shopping. A man Sarah does not know comes into the cafe and takes food without paying. Sarah and Ji-Sung call the police. While they are telling the police what happened, Mrs. Hayes comes into the store followed by the man who "stole" the food. Mrs. Hayes identifies the man as her husband who also owns the cafe.
