\"\"<\/h3>\n

High in the mountains of China stood a tiny tea house.<\/p>\n

An old woman named Mei served tea to travelers.<\/p>\n

She never asked where they came from.<\/p>\n

She only asked:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are you traveling?\u201d<\/p>\n

Some said adventure.<\/p>\n

Some said work.<\/p>\n

Some said they were running away.<\/p>\n

One winter evening, a tired traveler arrived.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t know why I’m here,\u201d he admitted.<\/p>\n

Mei poured him tea.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen perhaps you are here to rest.\u201d<\/p>\n

He stayed for three days.<\/p>\n

Before leaving, he thanked her.<\/p>\n

Years later, he returned.<\/p>\n

The tea house was still there.<\/p>\n

Mei was older but smiling.<\/p>\n

The traveler sat down.<\/p>\n

\u201cI finally know why I traveled,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mei poured the tea.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd why?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo find a place where I could stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outside, snow quietly covered the mountain.<\/p>\n

Inside, the tea remained warm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
