He met her at a party. She was so beautiful, many guys were chasing after her, while he was so plain and simple, nobody paid attention to him. At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised, but to be polite, she consented. They went to a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, she thought, please, let me go home.... suddenly he asked the waiter. ‘ "Would you please give me some salt?
