Kinder Words Were Never Spoken

(Originally in English)

A man went into a restaurant in a strange city and

asked the waiter for some food. The waiter asked

him what he wanted. Since the man was kind of

homesick and lonely, he said, “How about a

meatloaf, some bread and a kind word.” When

the waiter returned with the meatloaf and the

bread, the man said, “Where's the good word

for me?” The waiter put down the meatloaf

and sighed, then whispered into the man's ear,

“Don't eat the meatloaf!”

實話實說

有一個人來到異鄉的一家餐廳，向服務生點餐。

服務生問他想吃些什么？他有點想家并感到孤單，

便說：「給我一份肉卷、一些面包，和一句好話。」

當服務生送來肉卷和面包時，那個人問：「要給我

的好話呢？」服務生放下肉卷，嘆了一口氣，在他

耳邊低聲說：「不要吃這份肉卷！」
