Question

【题目】 Josh: Do you know about "pay it forward coffee” at Florn Cafe?

Eric: You mean volunteers pay for a cup of coffee for someone poor to have it later?

Josh: Yeah. A cup of coffee is not much, but on cold winter days like today, it might warm them up a little. And maybe their hearts too.

Eric: But will Flora Cale really give this cup of coffee to someone later?

Josh: Come on. I’ve known the shopkeeper well. He's an honest man. He's got a blackboard in the shop that says how many cups are paid for and how many have been given out.

Eric: But how will they know who to give? Anyone can ask for it, even if they’re not poor.

Josh: True, but then I guess they’ll just have to believe in people.

Eric: Perhaps. But will poor people go and ask for a free coffee? Won't they worry about losing face?

Josh: Why do you always say things like that?

Eric: Well. it may happen

Josh: Yeah, I know. but I still think it’s a good thing to do. and it gets people to care about others.
