Hot Coffee on a Cold Day

One cold, snowy evening, my friend and I entered a café.
Before buying a hot coffee, I looked in my pocket, but I had no money, so I was troubled.
I asked my friend, “May I borrow 500 yen?”
My friend said, “Yes, you may.”
My friend lent me 500 yen.
I bought a hot coffee with that money and sat near the window.
