トルコ土産 le rah at locoum

It was a cold day. I worked with a gardening team for street trees.
At ten o'oclock, we had a tea break. One of workers present the sixty three years old team leader a box of Turkish Delight of sesame and sugar. It was very very sweet. I read the English sentence on the box and translated them to the leader and workers.
They laughed. But the wife of the leader didn't laugh and put the lid on the box to bring the rest of the sweets to their home. The old leader made a grimace with a small smile. The others couldn't stop smile at the old couple.
Since then, the six years will have passed in this February.
