牆上的咖啡 " 一 無相佈施,温暖人間

這可能只有在老外的國度才會發生。

一直聽有人說《牆上的咖啡》,今天有幸讀到此文,大家分享!

一日,和朋友在洛杉磯一家有名的咖啡廳閒坐,品著咖啡。這時進來一個人,坐在我們旁邊的那張桌子旁。

他叫來服務生說:“兩杯咖啡,一杯貼牆上。”他點咖啡的方式令人感到新奇,我們注意到只有一杯咖啡被端了上來,但他卻付了兩杯的錢。他剛走,服務生就把一張紙貼在牆上,上面寫著:一杯咖啡。

這時,又進來兩個人,點了三杯咖啡,兩杯放在桌子上,一杯貼在牆上。他們喝了兩杯,但付了三杯的錢,然後離開了。服務生又像剛才那樣在牆上貼了張紙,上面寫著:一杯咖啡。

似乎這種方式是這裡的常規,但卻令我們感到新奇和不解。不過由於事不關己,我們喝完咖啡,付了錢,就走了。

幾天后,我們又有機會去這家咖啡店。當我們正在享受咖啡時,進來一個人,此人衣著與這家咖啡店的檔次和氛圍都極不協調,一看就是個窮人。

他坐下來,看著牆上,然後說:“牆上的一杯咖啡。”服務生以慣有的姿態恭敬地給他端上咖啡。 那人喝完咖啡沒結賬就走了,我們驚奇地看著這一切,只見服務生從牆上揭下一張紙,扔進了紙簍。

此時,真相大白,當地居民對窮人的尊敬讓我們感動得熱淚盈眶。 咖啡既不是社會的基本需要,也不是生活的必需品,但需要指出的是,當我們享受任何美好的東西時,也許我們都應該想到別人,有些人也喜歡這樣的東西,但卻無力支付。

再說說那位服務生,他在為那個窮人服務時一直都是面帶笑容。而那位窮人,他進來時無須降低自降低自己的尊嚴,討要一杯免費的咖啡,他只需看看牆上。 多付款的那杯咖啡叫待用咖啡,你付錢了,但並不知道誰會享用它。這就是有愛和美的世界。

【注:人們提前買了咖啡,讓付不起的人享受溫暖。這開始於意大利Naples,現已傳遍全世界】!
