[Story]

In a quiet town, there lived a man named John. He had a sharp sense of taste and could distinguish between bitter and sweet. One day, he went to the market and bought a can of something that tasted both sweet and sour. He couldn’t decide which one it was, so he decided to taste it. As he touched the can, he felt a sense of familiarity. It was the same can he had tasted before, but this time, he knew what it was. The can contained salty water, and it tasted like home.
