Once upon a time, in a busy restaurant, a waiter named Carlos was having a tough day. Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. He had spilled coffee on a customer, tripped over a chair, and knocked over a tablecloth.

To make matters worse, a customer asked for extra sauce and Carlos accidentally dumped the whole bottle onto the customer's lap. The customer was not happy and asked for some tissue. Carlos quickly apologized and ran to get some tissue, but he was so flustered that he grabbed a tablecloth instead.

The customer was even more upset now, but Carlos didn't give up. He knew he needed to fix the situation and make the customer happy. So, he had a brilliant idea! He asked the cook to boil the tablecloth, and then carefully folded it into the shape of a tissue. The customer was shocked, but couldn't help but laugh at the silly waiter and his creative solution.

From that day forward, Carlos was known as the "tablecloth tissue waiter." Every time a customer asked for tissue, Carlos would proudly bring them a freshly boiled and folded tablecloth. The customers loved it and the restaurant became more popular than ever before!

Moral of the story: With a little creativity and hard work, you can turn any situation into a positive one.
