He begins to count the people in his mind while they are having the delicious food. Suddenly, he cries out, "Oh, there are thirteen people here!" Everybody's face turns white except Mr Brown.

All of them become happy again.

"Congratulations(祝贺)!" they say to Mrs and Mr Brown. They enjoy the nice food and have a good time that evening.
