Jean was a very beautiful young girl, so she was quite used to some men showing their admiration for her, and to others being confused and shy when they saw her.
One summer, when Jean was travelling abroad, she went into a cafe in a small town, sat down and waited to be served.
The young waiter was talking to someone at the bar when she came in, and at first he did not pay any attention to her, because he had not looked at her properly. The he turned round and saw how beautiful she was. His face went bright red, and he hurried over to take his order.
'I'd like coffee without cream, please,' Jean said.
The waiter hurried out, and came back a few minutes later without the coffee.
'I'm very sorry,' he said, 'but we haven't got any cream. Would you like your coffee without milk?
