Question

I sat with my friend in a well-known coffee shop in a neighboring town of Venice. As we       our coffee, a man came in and sat at a(n)       table beside us. He called the waiter and placed his       saying, “Two cups of coffee, one of them there on the wall”. We       this order with rather interest and observed that he was       with one cup of coffee but he paid for two. As soon as he left, the waiter       a piece of paper on the wall saying “A Cup of Coffee”.

  While we were still there, two other men       and ordered three cups of coffee, two on the table and one on the wall. They had two cups of coffee but        for three and left. This time also, the       did the same; he put up a piece of paper on the wall saying, “A cup of coffee.” It seemed that this gesture was a        at this place.       , it was something unique and puzzling for us. Since we had        to do with the matter, we       our coffee, paid the bill and left.

  After a few days, we again had a(n)       to go to this coffee shop. While we were enjoying our coffee, a man walked in. The way this man was dressed did not        the standard nor the atmosphere of this coffee shop. Poverty was     from the looks on his face.       he seated himself, he looked at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from the        .” The waiter served coffee to this man with        and dignity. The man had his coffee and left without paying. We were amazed to watch all this when the waiter       a piece of paper from the wall and threw it into the dustbin.
