Tile 3 (Pending Coffee)

One fine day, a well-dressed man walked into a cafe and made an order,
"Hello, I would like to order one hot coffee and one pending coffee, please."

The bartender gave him one cup of hot coffee.
The man drank his cup of coffee and paid for TWO cups of coffee, then he walked away.

Later, a ragged old man came into the shop and asked the bartender,
"Could I have one pending coffee, please?"

The bartender smiled, and gave the old man a cup of hot coffee.
Thankfully, the old man drank it, thanked the bartender, and went away.
He didn't pay for the cup of coffee.

Because someone else paid it for him.

Pending coffee.
It wasn't the coffee that made the front cover of this story, but the 'pending' order made.
It wasn't for them. It was for those who needed it. Those who couldn't afford to have it.

Judging by the condition of our society here, we have a looooong way to go to reach that level of courtesy and practice as a whole community.

Cheers, everyone.
Oh, and make that two. One 'pending'.
