     Three days ago, the boss of a gold shop received a letter. As he was very busy, the letter was on his desk
till dinner time. When he opened it, a $1000 note fell out onto the desk. With the note was a short letter:
Dear sir,
     I got married forty years ago. Unfortunately, at that time there was a lot of unemployment and I got no
job. I was out of work for about six months before I got another one. Of course I was very short of
money.
     I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring one day. The assistant brought some rings for me to have a
look, later she was called away for a moment, and then I put one of the rings into my pocket. When she
came back, I said I did not know the size of my girlfriend's finger. So I left the shop with the ring but I did
n't pay for it. My wife died a month ago, and the fact that I never paid for her ring has been on my
conscience (让我良心不安) all these years. I always feel guilty about that. At that time the ring cost $100,
and I think that is about ten times at today's price.
     Now, I am sending you that amount. 
                                                                                                                                      Yours truly,
                                                                                                                                      A customer

     As the sun rose, a dewdrop (露珠) woke up.  There it sat on a leaf, catching the sunlight. Proud of its
simple beauty,  it was very happy.  Around it were other dewdrops,  some on the same leaf and some on
other leaves. The dewdrop was sure that it was the best, the most special dewdrop of them all.
     Ah, it was good to be a dewdrop.
     The  wind  blew  and  the plant began to shake,  tipping  (使倾斜)  the leaf . The  dewdrop  became
frightened as it started to move towards the edge (边缘)of the leaf. Why was this happening? Things were comfortable. Things were safe. Why did they have to change? Why? Why?
     The dewdrop  reached  the edge of th e leaf.  It was sure that this was the end.  The day had only just
begun and the end had come so quickly. It seemed so unfair. It seemed so meaningless. It tried hard to do whatever it could to stay on the leaf, but it was no use.
     Finally, it fell. Below there was a mirror. A reflection of the dewdrop seemed to be coming up to meet
it.  Closer and closer they came together until finally.., the small dewdrop became a part of the great pond (池塘). Now the dewdrop was no more, but it was not destroyed.
