I was cleaning out an old bos when an old card caught my eye: Queen City Casket Company.“What is it?”I wondered.I turned it over.There, in faded ink, was a hand-written address.Immediately my mind traveled many years back.
I was nine years old, walking down the cold and v.ot streets of Springfield, with a bag of magazines on my shoulder.That day, I came to the company finally, whose owner, Mr Rader, had always taken me there to ask his workers if they wanted any magazines.
Shaking off the rain like a wet dog, I went into Mr Rader's office.After a quick look he took me over to the fireplace.Noticing the hole in the top of my shoe, he said,“Come with me!”pulling me into his car.We stopped in front of a shoe store.Inside, a salesman fitted me with the finest pair of shoes I had ever seen.I felt about 10 feet tall when I got up in them.“We'd like a pair of new socks, too.”Mr Rader said.
Back in his office, Mr Rader took out a card, wrote something on it and handed it to me.With tearful eyes, I read,“Do to others as you would have them do to you.”He said kindly,“Jimmy, I want you to know I love you.”
I said good-bye, and for the first time I sensed a piece of hope that tilings would be better.With people like Mr Rader in the world, there was hope, kindness and love, and that would always make a difference.
