moment, dining partners will appear.

post-it notes.If you see someone you like, write a message on the message board.But wait… You've

    A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a box by his feet. He held up a sign which read, "I am blind,
please help." There were only a few coins in the box. The boy felt sad.
