There once was an alley that few knew about. The charm in cities is directed towards the sights that the authorities choose. The alley contained two attractions—a simple café and a simple car repair shop. The two places interacted in such a way that the café guests were amused by the workers, and the workers were encouraged by the café guests. One day, ten workers were to lift a scrap car onto aflatbed truck. When the workers were troubled, the café guests were on the edge in their chairs. The two sides of the alley glanced at each other. Fortunately, the workers conquered their distress and managed to lift the scrap car onto the flatbed truck. Both sides cheered, and the workers went across the alley and ordered coffee. It turned
out that the café guests were the workers’ comrades who had gone on a break.
