You can't go wrong with chicken soup

This month’s winner is JOYCE SOGG of Los Gatos, California:

On a recent tour in Kenya, I was feeling a bit under the weather and decided to stay in my room instead of going to dinner. Shortly after our group had gone to the dining room, there was a knock on my door. When I opened it, a lodge employee brought in several rolls of toilet paper. 

I didn’t quite understand this, as there already was plenty of TP in the bathroom. Nonetheless, I said, “Thank you,” and went back to bed.

The next morning, our group leader asked me if I had received the rolls and black tea he had ordered for me from the dining room the night before. Then I understood the delivery. I had received the rolls but no tea.
