I had a funny experience in Italy when I was traveling there。

One day I went into a small restaurant to have dinner。 I knew very little Italian， so I could not read the menu。 I wanted to order some mushrooms， as Italy is famous for this food。 However， I did not know the word for mushrooms。 I called the waiter to help， but he did not know English at all。 I took out a pencil and a piece of paper， and drew a picture of a mushroom。 The waiter seemed to understand and left immediately。 About half an hour later he returned with a large black umbrella。 I was greatly disappointed。 However， I paid for the umbrella and got it back to my hotel。 (113 words)

复述故事一般都有词数限制。有时，可能会让你把几页甚至几十页的一篇故事用一、二百词复述出来。这样，作者就要对原文内容作出取舍，保留主要情节，删去枝节问题。例如本篇就只保留了与“mushroom”有关的情节，而把无关的“ordered eggs”的情节删掉了。
