For today's homework, I will ask you to read this short story; after you finished reading, follow the instrutions at the bottom:

"A 79-year-old man was slightly injured on Saturday while waiting in his brand new convertible in a drive-through lane at Burger Prince restaurant. Herman Sherman of Northville suffered a mild burn about 9:00 p.m. when a young female employee accidentally spilled a cup of coffee into his lap. Sherman said the coffee was hot but not scalding.
He refused medical aid, saying the only problem was the stain on his slacks, but it would wash out. He was given a fresh refill. Before Sherman drove off, the restaurant manager, John Johnson, gave him two free gift certificates--one for an extra-large coffee and one for the restaurant's newest sandwich, the McRap.
The employee, who was a new hire, was let go later that evening. She was quite upset. She said she would probably sue Burger Prince for letting her go. She said it was the man's fault for ordering something that she might be able to spill."

Make a short list of all the words you don't know and then , in a dictionary, check at least 2 of them, write down the definitions, and post them in comment form (if you don't have a dictionary at hand, try this site). If you open the comments you will see an example. Please check the posts before you go to the dictionary, because maybe someone already wrote that word's definition.
