Something nice happened last weekend. I was with my girlfriend in a
really expensive restaurant. We were celebrating our birthdays – both our
birthdays are in the first week of June. Anyway, while we were looking at the
menus, a cell phone rang. It was the guy next to us. When he finished his
conversation, he and his wife got up right away, paid the bill, and left the
restaurant. A few minutes later, the owner of the restaurant came to our
table. He asked if we wanted a free dinner. The meal was from the people at
the next table. They had to leave because they had an emergency, and they
didn’t have time to eat anything. It was this really nice big meal for two
people – salad, steak, everything. So we had a delicious dinner, and we
didn’t have to pay for it!

Strange
Lights /An Unusual Server/ The Dangers of Fog
A few years ago, while I was
driving across eastern Canada, something very unusual happened. I still don’t
understand what happened.
While I was driving at night
through thick, heavy fog, I noticed flashes of light in the sky. They were
moving from the sky onto the road in front of my truck. I was driving slowly,
and I couldn’t see very well, but those lights were as bright as daylight,
and they were blue. It was definitely not lightning.
Now here’s where the story gets
weird. I was getting tired of driving in the fog, so I pulled off the road
and stopped at an all-night restaurant for travelers.
I walked in and sat down at the
counter. When the server came to my table, she laughed and asked me how I got
such a bad sunburn. I didn’t know what she meant, but my face was bright red!
I splashed cold water on it and held a towel to my skin. My hands were also
burned. I was very puzzled and a
little frightened.
I went back to my table and
ordered something to eat. I was feeling weak and extremely tired, and I
wasn’t hungry anymore. After I forced myself to eat a few bites of food, I
checked into a nearby motel, where I slept for about 24 hours. After that, I
didn’t see any more light flashes, and the “sunburn” on my face and hands
disappeared after a few days. Even now, I wonder about those flashes of light
– I’ll never forget them!
