This story will warm you better than a coffee on a cold winter day.
One day, my friend and I______a little coffee house and ordered two cups of coffee. _____we were waiting, two young men came in and began to order, “Five cups of coffee, please. Two of them for us and three suspended (待用).” They _____for their order, took the two and left. I asked my friend, “What are those ‘suspended' coffees?”______ giving me the answer, he told me to wait and see.
Some more people came. Two girls______one coffee each, paid and went away. Then came three lawyers who paid for seven coffees—three for themselves and four suspended. While I was still wondering ____the suspended coffees were, I enjoyed the sunny weather and the beautiful view_____the coffee house. Suddenly a poor man like a beggar (乞丐) came into the coffee house. He kindly ordered a suspended coffee and sat there______it.
At that moment, I knew the meaning of the suspended coffees. It's simple—people pay the coffee in advance (预先) for someone who can't______it. The tradition with the suspended coffee is not only a cup of coffee, but also the______and love to someone in need.
