WORTH READING 11 Jan 2005

A SWEET LOVE STORY


He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after
her,
while he was so normal, nobody paid attention to him. At the end of the
party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised, but
due to
being polite, she promised.

They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she
felt
uncomfortable, she thought, please, let me go home. suddenly he asked the
waiter: "would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my
coffee."

Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red, but, still, he
put
the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously : why you have
this hobby? He replied: "when I was a little boy, I was living near the
sea,
I liked playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea ,just like
the
taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always
think of my childhood, think of my home town, I miss my home town so
much, I
miss my parents who are still living there". While saying that tears filled
his eyes. She was deeply touched.

That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell
out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home,
has
responsibility of home. Then she also started to speak, spoke about her far
away hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, also
a beautiful beginning of their story.

They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all
her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such
a good person but she almost missed him!Thanks to his salty coffee!

Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess
married to the prince, then they were living the happy life...

And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the
coffee, as
she knew that's the way he liked it. After 40 years, he passed away, left
her a letter which said:" My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole
life lie. This was the only lie I said to you---the salty coffee. Remember
the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted
some sugar, but I said salt it was hard for me to change so I just went
ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication!

I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too
afraid to
do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything.. Now I'm dying,
I afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don't like the
salty coffee, what a strange bad taste..But I have had the salty coffee for
my whole life! Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for
you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can
live for the second time, still want to know you and have you for my whole
life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again".

Her tears made the letter totally wet.

Someday, someone asked her: what's the taste of salty coffee?

It's sweet. She replied.
