摘要：63． One time in Brooklyn, I found a diamond ring in my taxi. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of baggage that day, so I went back to where I had dropped her off. It took me almost two days to track her in order to return her ring. I didn't get as much as “thank you. Still, I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she did.

Actually, taxi drivers are just like other people．Most of them will 4 as honest fellows．You read in the 5 almost every week where a taxi driver turns in money or jewels or bonds that people 6 in their cabs．If they weren't honest, you wouldn't be reading those stories in the papers．
