A rare act of hospitality and generosity counts

He could not oblige but offered to make me tea or coffee. I was supplied with a nice pot of tea and a packet of biscuits and offered a paper to read.
When finished I asked the man how much I owed and he said nothing at all, as it was just a drop of tea. It may have been a small thing but it was nice to receive and much appreciated. I would like through your paper to offer my appreciation of the hospitality.
