In 1608, Thomas Coryate, an Englishman, visited Italy. He liked the country and noted down every interesting thing he had found. But there was one thing he found (interesting) than the others. In his diary, Thomas wrote, “When the Italians eat meat, they use small forks instead of their hands. As they say, people don't always have clean hands”
Before (leave) for England, Thomas bought a few forks. At home he gave a dinner party to show the (invent) to his friends. When the servants brought the steak, he took out a fork and began to eat people did in Italy.
Everybody looked at him in surprise. When he told his friends what it was, they all wanted (take) a good look at the strange thing. They said that the Italians were very strange people, for the fork was not very convenient.
Thomas tried to prove the opposite. He said it was not nice to eat meat one's fingers because they were not always clean. He wanted to show how easy was to use the fork. But the first piece of meat he took with the fork (fall) to the floor. His friends began to laugh and he had to take the fork away.
Only fifty years later people in England begin to use forks.
