Tildy's Moment by O. Henry Story
level 2 Audio book with subtitle Tildy's Moment is a short story written by O.
Henry. A small family restaurant is not the most famous or posh place in the
city. Most clients are people who need an inexpensive but tasty food. Large
portions for hungry men. The restaurant owner personally works in the hall and
accepts money from guests. There are also two waitresses working there: a tall
and beautiful woman and a low, fat partner who looks like a gnome. Mostly men
visit the restaurant. Certainly, they love the tall beautiful girl more. They
enjoy talking to her and just watching. She is able to support any conversation
and to be pleasant and sweet. The young girl often receives expensive gifts
from the customers. Nobody pays attention to the short fat waitress. Men do not
want to talk to her and, of course, do not give gifts. She is just a good
waitress, but that is not enough.
This is what people close say about me: “Misfit, Dreamer, Impractical, Champion of lost causes, Always Wrong” etc. etc. Maybe they are right, maybe not. What do I think of myself? I am trying to find out.
