Kisah Pemuda dan Keluarga Restoran

One day, the sun was setting in Taipei City. A young man walked into a restaurant and asked: Can I just buy a bowl of rice, please? The owner's wife kindly served him a bowl of rice. The young man noticed that there was some leftover sauce. He asked, "Can I have some leftover sauce too?" The owner's wife said, "Of course!" She poured some sauce over the rice. Then she said, "You can sit over there and eat." After finishing his meal, he asked: Can I buy another bowl of rice? He then took the second bowl of rice and left. The next day, the young man came to the restaurant again and bought a bowl of rice. Do you want some sauce? Thank you! The owner asked him: Young man, you are not from around here, right? The young man answered: No, I came from the countryside to study here, but everything is so expensive in the city, so I have to be thrifty. The couple grew very fond of this young man. Since then, they would prepare his bowl of rice in advance, hiding some vegetables or an egg under the rice. One day, the owner asked him: Why do you always buy another bowl of rice? For who is it for? The young man replied: It's for my lunch the next day. The couple was very impressed by this frugal and hardworking young man. Four years had passed and the young man was about to graduate, so he came to say goodbye to the couple. Thank you for taking care of me. I'll never forget your kindness. The couple told him, "You are a good kid." The young man left the city after graduation. At first, the young man would write to them regularly. However, through the years, fewer and fewer letters came. Eventually, they stopped coming altogether. As the large city continued to grow, roads were made wider. The restaurant's building had to be torn down too. Even after much pleading with the government, it was of no use. The owner worried about how to support his family. One day, a man in a suit walked into the restaurant and asked: Excuse me, are you the owner? He handed over his business card. How may I help you? Our general manager sent me. He knows this place is going to be torn down. We have a large number of staff in our company, and we need a cafeteria. We would like to invite you to open one in our building. Surprised, the couple happily accepted the offer. The owner and his wife went to the large company to meet the general manager. The general manager asked them: Don't you recognize me? The wife realized he was that young man and happily asked him: Do you work here too? The assistant said, "This is our general manager." So, the owner and his wife started to run a cafeteria in the large company. We have to help each other in our everyday lives. When we joyfully lend a helping hand, even if we don't ask for anything in return, what we sow is what we will reap.
