Sоmetimes while spending time in аnоther cоuntry, we mаy hаve one experience that will reveal more about that country’s culture than all the other experiences we have there. I learned this last summer when I spent the month of July teaching English in Eger, a small town in Hungary. Toward the end of the month, the students decided to show their appreciation to their American teachers by hosting a picnic for us. When the appointed evening arrived, we teachers awaited our student hosts in the lobby of Building B, the building used by Esterhazy Teachers College as language classrooms and living space for the foreign teachers. I was amazed to see that the entire class had come to escort us to the picnic. I was touched because the students did not own cars and had walked to Building B as they did each weekday for classes. We walked with our hosts for approximately three miles through the back streets of Eger to a park adjacent to the ancient wineries for which Eger has been known for centuries. As we walked, I noticed that the students took care that the teachers were always in the company of one of more students. They showed a gracious interest in our impressions of Hungary and asked many questions about our lives in America. Periodically the students changed places so that all students and teachers conversed with one another on the way. They did this so unobtrusively that only in retrospect did I realize they had done so. When we arrived at the park, I tried to hide my dismay. There were only a few well-worn picnic tables and no barbeque grills. How, I wondered, were the students going to cook the raw vegetables and meat they had brought with them? Someone mentioned building a fire. The students began gathering twigs, sticks, and dry leaves, and in what seemed to be a miraculously short time, one of the young men had a good cooking fire going. The young women cut the raw vegetables into pieces and cooked them on skewers with the chunks of beef. They served our dinner with a beverage they poured out of plastic two-liter bottles. I had assumed this beverage was a cola until I tasted it and found it was the students’ homemade wine. No waiter in a four-star restaurant could have been more gracious than any one of our student hosts. They refused to eat until all the teachers had been served. As night fell, we again walked through the quiet streets of Eger, using a route that would take us past the homes of many of the students. As they entered their modest homes, we realized how much farther they had walked to meet us at Building B instead of going directly to the picnic site. These students had served us simple food, deliciously prepared, in a simple place, but never have I received greater hospitality. Which sentence best states the main idea of this passage?
