It is morning. Abebe sits in a small café. The waiter, Sara, comes to his table. 'Good morning! What would you like?' she asks. Abebe says, 'I would like coffee and bread, please.' Sara brings hot coffee, fresh bread, and a glass of water. Abebe eats the bread and drinks his coffee. 'Thank you, Sara,' he says. The coffee is good.
