The Water City of Venice

In 1980, I went to Italy for business. One day, I sat with my friend in a well-known coffee shop in a neighboring town of Venice(威尼斯), Italy, the city of lights and__________.

As we enjoyed our coffee, a young man________ glasses entered and sat at an empty table beside us. He called the waiter and placed his order saying, “Two cups of coffee, one of them there _________the wall.”

We heard this order with interest and found that he __________ with one cup of coffee but he paid for two.

When he left, the waiter __________ a piece of paper on the wall saying “A Cup of Coffee”.

While we were still there,___________ middle-aged men entered and ordered three cups of coffee, two on the table and one on the wall. They had two cups of coffee but _________ three and left. This time also, the waiter did the same. He put a piece of paper on the wall saying, “A Cup of Coffee”.

It was __________ and perplexing(困惑)for us. We finished our coffee, paid the bill and left.

After a few days, we had a chance ________this coffee shop again. While we were enjoying our coffee, a man _________ dressed entered. As he seated himself, he _________ the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from the wall.”

The waiter served coffee to this man with the customary(惯常的)respect. The man had his coffee and left _________ paying.

We were amazed to watch all this, as the waiter __________ a piece of paper from the wall and threw it into the rubbish bin.

Now it was no _________ for us-the matter was very clear. The great respect for the needy shown by the inhabitants(居民)of this town _________ our eyes well up in tears.

Many years later, when I went to Venice for business again, I did the same thing as my appreciation to this beautiful world.
