Story 7:
This happened more than 10 years ago. I ran onto a train just 2 minutes before it left. I didn’t have any food with me, and my wallet was empty. Everyone else was having dinner, while I just sat there with my nose in a book. Then a guy said, “Would you like some tea?” I said I wouldn’t mind. And with the tea came some cookies. I took a couple, even though I was starving. Then out came a little sandwich, and eventually even some chicken. If he had offered me chicken right away, it would’ve felt awkward. But he ended up feeding me and distracting me from my gloomy thoughts with conversation. Sam, if you’re reading this — thank you!
