Speaking exercise

While Mr Bean was walking along the sidewalk of the local street, he ate the chocolate that he has just got from the chocolate bean episode. He was picking little squares off and throw them into his mouth but as he was going to throw another one a drop of rain dripped on the block of chocolate and MB was annoyed to have his perfect chocolate ruined and as he looked up into the sky he saw grey clouds closing in fast so he put away the bag of chocolate and ran along the road to find some shade. And a construction worker who just appeared through a construction site bumped into MB and he sighed as he walked away from MB who quickly ran into the shade of a cafe entrance to take cover. MB was curious to see a woman that was walking into the cafe so he decided to explore the inside of the cafe. As MB entered the cafe he was greeted by a scene of people drinking coffees of all types, and while they were sipping away and dreaming about ordering another cup there was images of coffees on the walls of the cafe. And MB went to the counter seeing the lady just walked away with a lot of foam on her coffee. And MB curiously looked at the menu of the cafe but he was disgusted as he only saw coffee this and coffee that. He didn’t know what to pick from the menu so he asked the barista to give him some suggestions. The B pointed to a small cup so MB had no choice but to order that.
