Read the text
Maya and Leo planned to open their small restaurant on Saturday. That morning, the vegetable delivery arrived two hours late.
Maya called a nearby farmer and bought fresh tomatoes. Meanwhile, Leo discovered that the oven was not working. They decided to serve soup and salads instead of baked dishes.
A neighbour helped them explain the new menu to the first guests. By evening, the tables were full and the team felt proud.
