Pizza in Warsaw, Torte in Prague.

This is the vivid example of how people take things for granted because they believe that that certain thing will always be available. One will have to live what other people live just to understand of how much misery the world has, like in this story that pizza was so scarce and who would have thought that piece of bread with tomato sauce and cheese would be so unavailable when it's so simple to have those three main ingredients. The narrator was used to having pizza and fast foods as he says in the beginning of this writing but when he the realized that this was not case in Warsaw he then realizes and tells us that even a lemon was a luxury to have at that time. One can only imagine how bad people would have been living in those times, we should call ourselves rich! we can go to our neighbor and ask for a lemon or just go to a lemon tree and pick up some lemons which is my case since my grandma has a huge lemon tree in her backyard. The other thing was the cake, who could have imagine that finding a cake would have been such an impossible task? Well it is mentioned here that even a cake was nowhere to be found in Prague in fact there were no pastries at all and today here in Puerto Rico you can go ANYWHERE and find a cake, muffin, doughnuts and such delicacies. This story will make you ponder and can actually make you realize that we are not poor at all, in fact we can consider ourselves rich compare to our distant neighbors across  the ocean far away or as close as in the Dominican Republic or Haiti which even water is a most needed recourse and is almost nonexistent.
