\nThere is a little coffee shop, where two people arrive and approached the counter.\n
\u201cFive coffees \u2615\ufe0fplease. Two for us and three hanging.\u201d\n
They paid, they took their two coffees and left.\n
I asked the waiter. “What\u2019s this about hanging coffees?”\n
\u201cWait and you’ll see.”\n
Some more people came in.\n
Two girls asked for a coffee each, they paid & left.\n
The following order was for seven coffees and it was made by three women – \u2018three for them and four hanging coffees.\u2019\n
I was left wondering…what is the meaning of the hanging coffees, they leave.\n
\n
Then, a man dressed in worn clothes, who looks like he might be homeless, arrives at the counter and asks sincerely…\n
\u201cDo you have a coffee hanging?”\n
\u201cYes we do, sir.\u201d\n
They serve him a coffee…. I got my answer.\n
People pay in advance for a coffee that will be served to whoever can’t afford a hot drink.\n
This tradition started in Naples.\n
Amazingly, it has spread throughout the world\u2019s cities and towns.\n
It\u2019s also possible to order not only “hanging coffees” but also a sandwich or a full low cost meal.\n
Wouldn\u2019t it be great if we could all start doing this in the cities and towns where we live?\n
Small kindnesses like this can impact so many lives, in ways we could never imagine.\n
Maybe we should all try it.\ud83d\ude0a\u2764\ufe0f\ud83c\udf39”\n
