      Television in the United States is free. To pay for programs, there are many advertisements. Often

these advertisements are short plays with actors. The following television advertisement is like many

others that Americans see daily.

     We see a man and his wife at the breakfast table. They have been married for a long time. They are

not speaking to each other. They haven't spoken to each other at the breakfast table for years. The

husband is reading his newspaper. We can't see his face. The wife looks very bored as she pours a cup

of coffee for him. Today, she is using a new kind of coffee for the first time. The husband picks up his

cup. He isn't very interested. He tastes his coffee. Suddenly he puts down his newspaper. Something is

different! Can it be the coffee? He takes another taste. It's wonderful! He smiles. He looks at his wife

and says in amazement,
