Ask and you shall receive.
It was 8 am. Having breakfast at a public cafeteria.
My addiction for the daily news was kicking in.
I scanned around to see if there was anything available.
I caught a man carrying my favourite free local paper, The Sun.
I couldn’t resist my temptation and walked over to his table and asked,
“Excuse me, where did you get the paper?”
“Oh, not here. I got it outside.”

I couldn’t hide my disappointment.
Thanked him and left.
Ate my breakfast, feeling lost without newspaper supplement.
20 mins later, the man gave me his newspaper as he make his exit.
I couldn’t hide my child-like delight.
“Thank you very much!” looking at the seemingly unread paper.
