It was a cold evening in November. Anna was sitting by the fireplace, reading a novel and enjoying a cup of tea. The wind was howling outside, and the rain tapped gently against the window. She had no plans for the night and was looking forward to a quiet evening alone.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
Anna froze for a moment. She wasn’t expecting anyone. Curious and slightly nervous, she opened the door. A tall man in a wet coat stood there, shivering. His car had broken down nearby, and he had no phone signal.
Without hesitation, Anna invited him in. She gave him a warm blanket and a cup of tea. As they talked, she learned he was a traveler from another city, passing through on his way to visit family. They shared stories, laughed, and forgot about the storm outside.
Sometimes, unexpected guests bring unexpected joy.
