Question

    In Amsterdam, the capital of Holland, there is a special restaurant. Why is it special? Because some children run it. The manager, cooks, cashiers, waiters, waitresses and other members are all children from 6 to 12 years old. They do all the work in the restaurant. All the children here like their work.

This restaurant started in 1983 by a woman cook. She wanted to give the children chances to learn something useful for life. And now she is the only adult there, but her job is just to take care of the children.

The restaurant is welcomed almost by everyone. There are only 20 seats in it. It is always full. So, if you want to eat there, you should book a table ahead of time. The price of a meal is $4 for each adult, but much cheaper for a child. It is open only on Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons because all the children should go to school first and finish their homework.
