He met her at a party. She was outstanding while he was normal. At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee. She was    36    but due to being polite, she    37   . Sitting in a nice coffee shop, he was too    38    to say anything.
Suddenly he asked the    39   , "Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee." Everybody stared at him, so    40   ! His face turned red but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him    41   , "Why you have this hobby?" He replied, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I liked the    42    of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee.    43    I have the salty coffee, I always    44    my childhood and my hometown. I miss my hometown and my parents."    45    saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. A man who can tell out his  homesickness  must  be  a  man  who  has    46    of home.
That was a really beautiful    47    of their story. Then the story was just like every beautiful  love  story —the  princess    48    the  prince. And  every  time  she  made    49    for him, she put some salt in it, as she knew that's the    50    he liked it.
After 40 years, he passed away,    51    her a letter which said, "My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life's lie — the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time,    52    I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me  to      53    so I just went ahead. If I can live for the second time, I still want to have you for my whole life,    54    I have to drink the salty coffee again."
Her tears made the letter totally wet. Someday, someone asked her, "What's  the  taste  of    55    coffee? " She replied, " It's sweet."
