A Miracle
Until a certain moment in my life, I had been a very carefree man whose main ambition was to sleep and eat well, party like there was no tomorrow and earn a fortune. I worked only when I needed more money, which was possible as I was an up-and-coming novelist. So instead of writing books regularly, I used to waste my time away meeting my friends, shopping or going on holidays.
Once a friend of mine talked me into visiting the Philippines, saying what a lovely place it was to see. I agreed without hesitation and so we left. My friend was a doctor and we learnt the value of this soon. Three days into our stay on the island, a terribly destructive typhoon struck. Apparently, there had been warnings, but we must have been too busy partying to take any notice. When the typhoon came, we were sleeping in our hotel and were woken up by people screaming and buildings falling down. I was stunned that something like that could happen to me, I really was. We ran downstairs and like most people around us, we were trying to find a place to hide. The wind and rain were overpowering and what we could see through a small window in our hiding place was total chaos. After the typhoon died down, we were allowed out and what I witnesses has stayed with me ever since. There were hundreds of people looking for their nearest and dearest, crying and shouting their names out. Most people had some kind of injury, not to mention thousands of people who, we learnt, had died while the wind was raging on the island. Most houses and shops were beyond recognition. I just stood in the middle of the street and was lost for words. My friend, likewise, felt unable to say anything. Then we heard someone screaming ‘Doctor, doctor!’ and turned to where the voice was coming from. It was coming from a young mother who had just found her missing daughter. The girl was conscious but her leg was badly injured and she was losing blood. My friend took his shirt off and used it to dress the girl’s leg. The bleeding stopped. ‘Uff’, I said with great relief. We knew the girl needed hospital treatment but we did not know where the hospital was. I asked a man who was just passing by and he said that the hospital had been destroyed and there was no help for anyone. We decided to take the girl and her mother to our hotel, which, to my total amazement, hadn't got damaged too much. We looked after them until some rescue teams arrived on the island and were able to give the girl proper medical care. Then it dawned on me how self-centred I had always been and how little I had contributed to aiding people in need before. When I came back home, I decided to devote most of my time to charity work. I metamorphosed into another being. Miracles happen, don’t they?

«'GREASY SPOONS»
'GREASY SPOONS' very rarely appear in guidebooks, but they are an essential part of life in the UK, especially for people living in the bigger cities. These small restaurants are so common that they often go unnoticed, but if they were removed, the country would be on its knees. In London, the capital city of the greasy spoon, there are hundreds оf them, fuelling the population with bacon, egg and sausage.
Greasy spoon cafes are so called because any cutlery that comes into contact with the food they offer is immediately coated with a sticky, greasy layer of lard. More calories can be found in a clip of tea in a good greasy spoon than in a whole meal at a normal restaurant.
Greasy spoons are generally found slightly away from the main streets of most towns, they usually have large glass windows, a plastic sign with the name of the cafe - usually containing the name of the owner, e.g, Mario’s, Bob’s Place, Rita’s Cafe - and a huge menu offering a wide variety of delights, inside they are generally clean and functional. You’ll see old wooden seats, tables covered with cracked linoleum and plain walls. Each table has on it a bottle of brown sauce, tomato ketchup and vinegar, and pots of salt and pepper.
In a typical greasy spoon, you will find people from all walks of life. Poets, builders, hurrying businessmen, students lazing around with huge mugs of tea. Some read novels, some stare into space, and others catch up on the day’s news. At weekends there will always be large groups of friends, recovering from a night on the town.
The meals here are dangerously unhealthy, and absolutely delicious. All kinds of fried food can be bought for incredibly low prices. The centrepiece is usually the traditional English breakfast. Although it's called a breakfast, you have to be really brave to eat it first thing in the morning, because it is huge. At least two pieces of bacon, two sizzling sausages, two fried eggs, fried mushrooms, baked beans and bread soaked in hot oil and fried. The English breakfast is full of meat and fat. If you want something less filling, there’s still a lot to choose from; particular specialities are bacon or fried egg sandwiches (or, of course, bacon and egg sandwiches). There is also often a range of vegetarian sausages and burgers.
Greasy spoons have some devoted followers. Typing ‘greasy spoon’ into an internet search engine will bring up hundreds of entries. With pictures, reviews, menus and stories, it’s the next best thing to going to a greasy spoon cafe yourself. But of course, nothing can beat going to the real thing - especially on an empty stomach.
