The old man answered,“Yes,but I need something to eat.”
“Then let’s go to the restaurant,”said Jim.
When the waiter asked,the old man said,“Just a glass of water.”
“Do you want anything to eat?”asked the waiter.
The old man didn’t answer,and Jim asked him,“Have you had your breakfast?”
“No,I haven’t had any food and I haven’t any money because I lost it,”answered the old man.
The boy said to the waiter,“My friend wants to have bread and coffee.”
“I’m giving you too much trouble,”said the old man.
The old man ate quickly what the waiter had brought him.“I’m fine now,”he said,“I’ll never forget your kindness!You are a good young man.”
