Taste of Love..

He met her on 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 agreed. They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was
too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable.

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 was living near the sea, I like
playing in the sea, I could felt the taste of the sea, salty and
bite, just like the taste of the salty coffee.

Now every time I have the salty coffee, I will think of my childhood,
think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents
who are still living there. 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 he's homesick, he must be a man who
loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home..

Then she also started to talk,talked 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 actually he was a man who meets all
her demands: he was tolerant, kind hearted, warm, careful...he was
such a good guy.

They got married and 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.

After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said:

My dearest, please forgive me, forgive me for my 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. I didn't want to hurt you..Now I'm dying, I am afraid of
nothing..... so I tell you the truth:

I never liked the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste..but I have
the salty coffee for my whole life.

Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I
can live for the second time, I still want to know you and have you
for my 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.

Agree!!
 
its just like sort of "Chinglish":D
it doesnt seem to be written by a native writer
is it from "英语沙龙" magazine,or sth else?
大概是高中时青年文摘看多了,这种story看着没新异了
感觉现在的文章似乎不死个人,不患个绝症就不叫感人.记得当年评高考作文,学生为了打高分,连自己的老父都给卖了,说什麽送他考试的途中出车祸一类的,以显感人,博得同情.
其实生活中的很多平凡小事一样可以打动人.我喜欢清淡点的,不喜欢看那种大喜大悲,又苦有涩的东西.
一点想法:)(其实我本不爱看文章:D,因为高中唯一不禁的书就是文学杂志,而且还得课余看)

我说了嘛,这是个比较常见的故事,甚至有些老套:p
多是换汤不换药,什麽男人拼命追女人,女人不干,后来女人死了,男人看到女人的日记,原来女人这麽的爱男人,然后后悔莫及.....云云!:D
另一典型是<第一次亲密接触>
记得还有一篇,男孩女孩青梅竹马,男孩本想娶女孩为妻,可女孩说自己有男有结婚了.后来归天了,男孩通过女孩父母知道,原来女孩很爱他.....云云!
还想起一个,男孩给女孩写信,没人回了,以为女孩变心了,结局跟上面差不多....
再让我想可能还能想几篇出来...:D

牛郎怎么这几天这么嚣张阿,你赶快写点出来,弄不好被人买去版权,排成电影电视,出版小说,你就发了。
