Spare Bedroom

One evening, I was reading in a public place. A man quietly sat next to me. When I closed my book..his mouth opened. He was fom Africa and we discussed the differences in public education in our countries of birth..you know typical small talk.. The talk switched to discussing his personal history..then it happened..He offered me his spare bedroom.. His surounding words were.."a place for you to sleep..lay down..for the night" I was so startled at the casualness of the offer..his inviting a stranger into his home..I think I asked him to repeat the question When he was leaving for the night..He found me and confirmed his offer
