Last Sunday, I sat with Tony, my college classmate, in a well-known coffee shop in Buenos Aires, Argentina. As we
our coffee, two men entered and sat on an empty table beside us. They
the waiter and ordered three cups of
, two on the table and one on the wall. We heard this order with great
and observed that they were served with two cups of coffee
they paid for three. As soon as they
, the waiter pasted (粘贴) a piece of paper on the wall saying A Cup of Coffee.
It
that the situation was normal at this place. However, it was something
for Tony and me. Since we had nothing to do with the situation, we
our coffee, paid the bill and left.
After a few days, we again had a
to go to this coffee shop. While we were enjoying our coffee, a man entered. The way this man was dressed did not
the standard nor the atmosphere of this coffee shop. Poverty (贫穷) was
from the looks on his face. As he
himself, he looked at the
and said, “One cup of coffee from the wall.” the waiter served coffee to this man with
, politeness and warmth.
After a few minutes, the man finished his coffee and left
paying. We were amazed to watch all this when the waiter
a piece of paper from the wall and
it in the dust bin.
Now it was no
for us because the situation was easy to understand. Although the man didn’t know about the one who was giving this cup of coffee to him, he would have a better understanding of the wall which had a great role between the
and receiver.
