“Latte(n):Italian for you paid too much for that coffee”
Actually, it is not such a joke — I heard a story with R’ Yisroel Salanter who was once for whatever reason in a hotel, and saw the price they charged for a coffee. He thought it was far to much to pay for one coffee, which usually costed him only a few kopeks. Then he decided that he wasn’t just paying for the coffee, but for the fact that it was presented to him in a nice glass, with a nice view on the windows, and surrounded by the aristocratic people. He then calculated that they were right to charge him.
So to, Said R’ Yisroel – We must remember every time we drink that it is not just the pure water we are having, but we must be grateful for the surroundings – the blue sky and the birds chirping and the whole brilliant world we live in.
