Mężczyzna w szarym płaszczu
The man in the grey coat
Sara pracuje w małej kawiarni. Kawiarnia jest na ruchliwej ulicy w mieście.
Sara works in a small café. The café is on a busy street in the city.
Jest siódma rano. Sara otwiera drzwi i włącza światła.
It is seven o’clock in the morning. Sara opens the door and turns on the lights.
W kawiarni jest cicho. Sara robi kawę dla siebie. Siedzi przy oknie.
The café is quiet. Sara makes a coffee for herself. She sits at the window.
Ma długopis w ręce. Rysuje na papierowej serwetce. Rysuje ulicę, autobus i ludzi.
She has a pen in her hand. She draws on a paper napkin. She draws the street, the bus and the people.
Sara bardzo lubi rysować. Rysuje każdego ranka. Ale nigdy nikomu nie pokazuje swoich rysunków.
Sara loves drawing. She draws every morning. But she never shows her drawings to anybody.
O ósmej otwierają się drzwi. Wchodzi mężczyzna. Ma szary płaszcz i dużą czarną torbę.
At eight o’clock, the door opens. A man comes in. He has a grey coat and a big black bag.
„Dzień dobry” – mówi Sara.
“Good morning,” says Sara.
„Dzień dobry” – mówi mężczyzna. „Czarną kawę poproszę”.
“Good morning,” says the man. “A black coffee, please.”
Zawsze mówi te same słowa. Przychodzi codziennie o ósmej. Zawsze chce czarną kawę.
He always says the same words. He comes every day at eight. He always wants a black coffee.
Sara robi kawę. Mężczyzna płaci. Siada przy stoliku w rogu.
Sara makes the coffee. The man pays. He sits at the table in the corner.
Otwiera książkę. Czyta i pije kawę. Nie rozmawia.
He opens a book. He reads and drinks his coffee. He does not talk.
Sara patrzy na niego. Ma około trzydziestu lat. Ma ciemne włosy i miłą twarz.
Sara looks at him. He is about thirty. He has dark hair and a kind face.
„Ta sama kawa, ten sam stolik, ta sama książka” – myśli. Uśmiecha się.
“The same coffee, the same table, the same book,” she thinks. She smiles.
