The Kind Waitress
Every evening at six o'clock a very old man goes to a
'" . restaurant near his
house. He eats dinner. After dinner, he drinks
coffee and talks to the people at the restaurant.
The old man's name is Bill. Bill eats at the restaurant
every evening because he is lonely.
His wife died, and he has no children.
Every evening the same waitress brings Bill his
dinner. Her name is Cara. She is 17 years old.
Cara is kind to Bill. She knows he is lonely, so
she talks to him. If Bill is late for dinner, she
calls him on the telephone. "Are you OK?"
she asks him.
One evening Bill doesn't come to the restaurant
Cara calls him, but he doesn't answer
the phone. Cara calls the police. "Please
go to Bill's house," Cara tells the police.
Later the police call Cara at the restaurant. "Bill
died in his sleep," :smile (56):the police tell her. Bill was 82
years old.She felt very sad for that and cried a lot
A week later, a man comes to the restaurant.
"I have something for Cara, " the man says. The
man gives Cara a check for $500,000. The
money is from Bill .
"This money is for me? From Bill?" Cara asks
the man.
"Yes," the man answers.
"But ... why?" Cara asks the man.
"Bill liked you," the man says. "You were kind
to him," ::smile (40):
