A handsome, middle aged man walked quietly into the cafe and sat down. Befor he1,he couldn’t help but2a group of younger men at the table next to him. It was3that they were making fun of something about him and it wasn’t until he remembered he was4a small pink ribbon-on the lapel(翻领) of his suit that he became aware of what the5was all about.
The man paid6attention to all this, but the whisper and laughter began go get to him. He looked one of the7men straight into the eye, placed his hand beneath the8and asked, “This?”
With that the young men all began to laugh out loud. The man he had9said, “Hey, sorry man, but we were just commenting on how10your little pink ribbon looks against your blue jacket!”
The middle-aged man11invited the joker to come over to his table, and politely seated him.12as he was, the young guy had to, not really sure why. In a13voice, the middle-aged man said, “I wear this ribbon to bring14about breast cancer. I wear it in my mother’s15.”
“Oh, sorry. She died of breast canner?”
“No, she didn’t. She’s alive and16. But her breasts nourished me as a baby, and were a soft17place for my18when I was scared or19as a little boy. I’m very grateful20my mother’s breasts, and her health.”
