Saturday at Joe’s café

A man worked into Joe’s café on a Saturday. He asked for three vanilla ice-creams. Joe thought this was a bit strange, because the man was alone. Joe didn’t want to be rude, so he didn’t ask any questions. He made the ice-creams for the man and took the man’s money. The man sat at a table outside. He ate one bite from one ice-cream, then from the second, then from the third ice-cream. He continued eating this way until all ice-creams were gone. Then the man left Joe’s shop.

The next Saturday the man returned. «Three vanilla ice-creams, please,» he said to Joe. «You know, you don’t need to order three at one time,» said Joe, «They melt quickly. I can bring you the second one when you have finished the first».

«No, you don’t understand,» the man said, «I’ve got two brothers. When we were young, we enjoyed eating ice-creams together. Now, one of my brothers lives in Canada. My other brother lives in Australia. But every Saturday, we each go to the ice-cream shop. We each have three ice-creams. We feel as if we are eating ice-creams together. Then we don’t feel so far away.»

This continued for a few more weeks. But one Saturday the man came and ordered only two ice-creams. Joe was worried. «I know it’s not my business, but has something happened to your brothers?», asked Joe.

The man laughed, «Nothing wrong with my brothers, I am getting fat, so I’ve stopped eating ice-creams. I’m just buying them for my brothers.» And the man took his brothers’ two ice-creams and he ate them! (Lewis Landsford and D’Arcy Adrian – Vallance, Comprehension 2)
