　　B

　　He met her at a party．She was so outstanding，with many boys around her，while he was so normal, with nobody paying attention to him．

　　At the end of the party，he invited her to have coffee with him．She was surprised，but due to being polite，she agreed．

　　They sat in a nice coffee shop．He was too nervous to say anything，and she felt uncomfortable，thinking，“Please let me go home．”

　　Suddenly he asked the waiter，“Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee．”

　　Everybody stared at him——so strange! His face turned red，but，still，he put the salt in his coffee and drank it．

　　She asked him curiously，“Why do you have this hobby?”

　　He replied，“When I was a little boy，I was living near the sea．I liked playing in the sea, and I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee．Now every time I have the salty coffee．I always think of my childhood．I miss my hometown so much．I miss my parents who are still living there．”

　　While saying that tears filled his eyes．She was deeply touched．That's his true feeling，from the bottom of his heart．A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, and has responsibility of home．
