He met her at 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, hewas
too nervous to say
anything, she felt
uncomfortable,and she
thought to
herself,"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
lived 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 hometown, I miss my
hometownso much, I
miss my parents who are
still living there." While
sayingthat 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 home
sickness, 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
theprince, and 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's 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 thetruth, 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?" She replied, "It's
sweet."
