A Cup of Tea - God's exist

Story 1: Narrated by Bharat Jagmohan Mehra:

During this phase of tension, turmoil and fear this is a story from Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir, 15 soldiers lead by their major, are on their way to their new post at Himalayas – Batch there was eagerly waiting to be relived -  It was very, very cold on the way. They felt like having a cup of tea, but could not find any house or tea shop around. It was snowing. Finally they found a dilapidated structure, which looked like a tea stall, but it was locked. 

The team took rest, and wanting to have tea, requested the major if they could break the lock? Though unethical and initially hesitant, the major gave order to break the lock. They could find all the ingredients needed to make tea there. Most of them had two glasses of tea, and was satisfied. While leaving, the major kept money, few thousand rupees below the sugar pot. 

After their posting, while returning, the shop was open, and there was an old man, who narrated his story. And while discussing on God, he said God is actually there – I have proof. Few days before, his son was attacked by terrorists, he had no money; but took his son to hospital. When he returned, he saw, the lock was broken, was scared all was lost; but when he got inside, he found, few thousand rupees below the sugar pot. It was the time, when he very much needed it. 

Order in the eyes of the major was clear – keep quite. A rare sight – Major hugged the old man, and there was moist in the eyes of the officer.

Today every one need to be the messager of God – have faith, follow the path of truth.

Help anyone, in any way – do whatever bit we can – Let everyone feel, God is there.

Let us walk on the path of Truth and compassion.

Story 2:

Short story by Katherine Mansfield which appeared in The Dove's Nest and Other stories.Rosemary Fell, a wealthy young married woman, goes to  shop at a florist's and in an antique shop. Before going to the car, Rosemary is approached by Miss Smith, a poor girl who asks for enough money to buy tea. Instead, Rosemary drives the girl to her plush house, determined to show her "that dreams do come true" and "that rich people did have hearts." At the Fells' home, Miss Smith eats her fill of food and tea. She then begins to tell Rosemary of her life until Rosemary's husband, Philip, comes in. Although initially surprised, Philip recovers and asks to speak to Rosemary alone.

In the library, Philip conveys his disapproval. When Rosemary resists dismissing Miss Smith, Philip tries another, more successful, tactic: He plays to Rosemary's jealousy and insecurity by telling her how pretty he thinks Miss Smith is. Rosemary retrieves three five-pound notes and, presumably, sends the girl away (a far cry from Rosemary's first vow to "look after" and "be frightfully nice to" Miss Smith). Later, Rosemary goes to her husband and informs him that "Miss Smith won't dine with us tonight." She first asks about the antique box from the morning, but then arrives at her true concern, quietly asking Philip, "Am I pretty?" The story ends with this question.

Being asked for the price of the cup of tea sets the story in motion, and at the end Miss Smith turns out not to be Rosemary's cup of tea.
