A

At the end of a party, he invited her to have coffee with him. In a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything，and she felt uncomfortable, thinking, “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 do you have this hobby?”

He replied, “When I was a little boy, I was living near the sea. I liked playing in the sea, and 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. I miss my hometown and my parents so much.”

She was deeply touched. A man who can tell out his homesickness must be a man who loves home，cares about home, and has responsibility for home.

They continued to date. She found that actually he was such a good person, but she almost missed him!

Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story went just like every beautiful love story…And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee.

After 40 years, he passed away, leaving her a letter which said, “My dearest, please forgive my whole life lie. This was the only lie I told 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 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'm afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth：I don’t like the salty coffee. What a strange bad taste! But I have had the salty coffee in my whole life!”

Her tears made the letter totally wet.

Someday, someone asked her, “What’s the taste of salty coffee?” “It’s sweet.” she replied.
