In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, the O'Flannary family went to a local Irish pub for a traditional meal of corned beef and cabbage. The sports bar was crowded with fans watching the Celtics game on the big-screen television.

The harried waitress took their order, but more than half an hour passed with no sign of her return. To the hungry children, ranging in age from 3 to 11, thirty minutes seemed to be hours.

Suddenly, shouts of victory came from the bar. "Hey," commented eight-year-old, "it sounds like someone just got his food."
