I sat with my friend in a well-known coffee shop. As we enjoyed our
coffee, a man entered and sat down beside us. He called the waiter
and ordered, "Two cups of coffee, 15 of them there on the wall."
We heard this with great 16 and saw that he was served with one
cup ofcoffee but he paid for two. As soon as he left, the waiter 17
put a piece ofpaper on the wall saying "A Cup of Coffee". While we
were still there, two other men had two cups of coffee but paid for
three. 18 , the waiter did the same thing. It seemed that this was
usual at this place. However, it was something strange for us. Since
we had nothing to do with the 19 , we finished our coffee, paid and
left.
After a few days, we again had a 20 to go to this coffee shop. While
we were enjoying our coffee, a man entered. The way this man was
dressed did not match the 21 of this coffee shop. As he seated
himself, he looked at the wall and said, "One cup of coffee from the
wall." The waiter served coffee to this man with the same 22 . The
man had his coffee and left without paying. The waiter took off a piece
of paper from the 23 and threw it in the dust bin. Now there was no
24 for us. The great kindness for the people in need shown by the
people of this town filled up our eyes with tears.
