Among the usual magazines and pamphlets on the counter lay an old, dusty tin canister labeled ‘Free Samples’. No one could recall ever seeing it before. Curious, she opened it, finding inside not medicine samples but packets of sugary candies—obviously someone’s forgotten stash. The doctor joked that maybe it was for patients with sweet tooths.

Everyone burst out laughing, except for one guy reading his chart who looked slightly embarrassed.
