Narrated on a night when a rain storm many years ago, there was an old man and his wife went into a small hotel lobby in Philadelphia to get a place to stay overnight due to rain and storm conditions.
The old man walked in and found a waiter and asked, "can you give us a room here?". The clerk, a friendly man with a smile looked at the couple and explained that there were three conventions in town, "All of our rooms have been full." Then the waiter continued, "But I can not send a nice couple like you out in the rain on this night. Maybe you want to sleep in my room? Not too good, but there is enough to make a comfortable bed for the night. "When the couple hesitated, the young waiter persuaded and said," Do not be confused and feel uncomfortable, think of it as a sign of my introduction? "

2 years since that meeting, the waiter almost forgotten the incident when he received a letter from the old man. It recalled that stormy night and accompanied by a round-trip ticket to New York, asking the young man to come visit an elderly couple.
