This story is from one summer vacation 14 years ago when I was a freshman at university. During this summer vacation, my friend and I went out on a penniless journey to the east beach in Korea called KyungPoDae. We had little money so we had a plan to stay just a couple of days. On the way to go into the train, we met someone who was traveling alone. This man was older than us. After talking together, he decided to join us on the beach. This man paid for us to stay for four days.  He said he graduated from a really good university and wanted to help us. We exchanged phone numbers to contact each other later. When I gave him a phone call at home to say thank you, I heard that the number was an incorrect contact number by the message on the phone. My friend and I thought that was so strange. We tried to contact him, but we didn't find a way to do so.

Discussion question:

Tell me about what you understood from the story!

1. Where did they meet each other?

2. Would you accept a gift like this from a stranger?

3. Why do you think that the man gave them the incorrect number? Please guess!
