Dear Bob,
I was glad to hear from you.

My husband and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local convenience store where we often get gasoline. I don't think people appreciate what a difficult job these folks have sometimes. They work for a little over minimum wage and I often wonder how they make ends meet.
One of the clerks,Charlie,was missing his glasses one day. I commented on it and he said they'd been broken and that he couldn't afford a new pair. It was obvious that he was having a difficult time.
We wondered how we could help him,so we turned to our own eye doctor for assistance with a plan. We had his secretary contact him,asking him to come in for an eye exam free of charge. We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them. Although Charlie ques?tioned what was going on,the doctor just told him that someone had anonymously (用匿名的方式) donated the money for his new glasses. When we went in to pay the bill,the doctor told us he was so touched by our idea that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glas?ses!It was so wonderful to see Charlie in his new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how it came about. I'm sure that upon hearing his story,ideas of kindness may have emerged in the minds of many people. He will never know who the gift was from and I hope the idea that good guys real?ly do get a break sometimes was planted for them.
