1. Love story One day, his wife, who had very long hair asked him to buy her a comb for her hair to grow well and to be wellgroomed. The man felt very sorry and said no. He explained that he did not even have enough money to fix the strap of his watch he had just broken. She did not insist on her request. The man went to work and passed by a watch shop, sold his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife. He came home in the evening with the comb in his hand ready to give to his wife. He was surprised when he saw his wife with a very short hair cut. She had sold her hair and was holding a new watch band. Tears flowed simultaneously from their eyes, not for the futility of their actions, but for the reciprocity of their love. MORAL: To love is nothing, to be loved is something but to love and to be loved by the one you love, that is EVERYTHING. Never take love for granted.

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 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 so much I miss my parents who are still living there.” While saying that 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 homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, and has responsibility of home Then she also started to speak, about her faraway 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 was kind-hearted, warm and careful He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to the salty coffee!

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 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 for my whole life!” “Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I for you Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life If I can live for a second time, I 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?” “It’s sweet,” she replied Cà phê muối Chàng trai gặp cô gái buổi tiệc Cô gái thật đẹp, nhiều chàng trai vây quanh chàng bình thường không để ý Cuối buổi tiệc, chàng trai mời cô gái uống café Cô gái ngạc nhiên, lịch sự, nên đồng ý Họ ngồi quán café đẹp Chàng bối rối nói gì, cô gái cảm thấy không thoải mái suy nghĩ, “Làm ơn cho nhà.” Đột nhiên chàng trai hỏi người phục vụ, “Xin cho muối?

Lúc anh bối rối Anh định xin đường anh lại nói thành muối Thật khó khăn cho anh để thay đổi” “Anh định nói cho em biết thật nhiều lần, anh sợ để làm điều đó, anh hứa không nói dối em thêm lần nữa.” “Bây anh không còn, anh không sợ anh nói cho em biết thật: Anh không thích café muối Hương vị thật tệ làm sao! Nhưng anh uống café muối suốt đời mình.” “Kể từ quen biết em, anh chưa cảm thấy hối hận thứ anh làm cho em Có em bên cạnh hạnh phúc lớn đời anh Nếu sống lần thứ hai, anh muốn làm quen em có em suốt đời, anh phải uống cà phê muốn lần nữa.” Nước mắt người vợ làm thư hoàn toàn ước Một hôm, hỏi, “Hương vị café muối nào?” “Nó lắm”, bà trả lời
