Two spoons of sugar

An old man is dying.

His entire family is sitting around his bed, subdued and not knowing what else they can do.

They ask him, “Maybe we can fulfill your last wish?”

“Yes… I’d like … a cup of tea … with two teaspoons … of sugar.”

“Why?” they ask him.

“I’ve had a long life… and all of that time… when I drank tea in my own house… I used one spoon of sugar…

When I had tea… in someone else’s house… I put three spoons of sugar in my cup…

But really… really… all my life… I loved tea… with two spoonfuls of sugar.”
