McDonald's Opens restaurant in New Delhi

    NEW DELHI, INDIA —McDonald's is opening its first restaurant in New Delhi, India. It is the only McDonald's in the world with no beef on the menu. You can't eat Big Macs here, but there are mutton Maharajah Macs. These hamburgers are made from Indian sheep, and the fries are made from Indian potatoes. The soda comes from an Indian bottler(灌装公司).

    Many old and young people come to the new restaurant. Mr. Sahani , who is 75 years old, says he comes all the way from a town which is 90 miles south of New Delhi. "I like it because McDonald's has not brought things from overseas. All the food comes from India."

    A 19-year-old boy, Pankresh, says, "If the food is good, I don't care where it comes from."

    A rich Indian man, Vikram Bakshi, owns half of the restaurant. The McDonald's company owns the other half. Bakshi says the restaurant serves mutton because 80% of Indians are Hindu. Hindus don't eat beef. They also believe that it is wrong to kill cows.

    The menu at the New Delhi McDonald's has some other Indian food. For the Indians who don't eat any meat at all, there are Vegetable McNuggets. They are made with rice, peas, carrots, red pepper and apices.

    McDonald's has 20,000 restaurants in more than 95 countries. It fits its menu to each culture(文化).

    In Thailand, people can eat Samurai Pork Burgers with a sweet sauce(酱) on top. In Japan they can try burgers topped with a fried egg.

    A farmer had a cow. He took very good care of his cow. One day it was ill, the farmer was very worried. He telephoned the vet.

    "What's the problem?" the vet asked the farmer when he arrived. "My cow is ill," said the farmer, "I don't know what's the matter with her. She's lying down and doesn't eat. She's making a strange noise." The vet looked at the cow. "She's certainly ill," he said, "and she needs to take some strong medicine." He took a bottle out of his box, put two pills into his hand and said, "Give her these. The pills should make her better." "How should I give them to her? The farmer asked. The vet gave him a tube(管子) and said, "Put this tube in her mouth, then put the pills in the tube and blow. That'll make it."

    The next day the vet came to the farm again. The farmer was sitting outside his house and looked worried. "How's your cow?" asked the vet. "No change," the farmer said, "and I'm feeling very strange myself."

    "Oh?" the vet said, "Why?"

    "I did what you said." the farmer answered, "I put the tube in the cow's mouth and then put the two pills in it."

    "And?" the vet asked.

    "The cow blew first." the farmer said.
