Last month the manager of a jewelry shop(珠宝店)received a letter.As he was very busy then, the letter lay on his desk till tea-time.He opened it and a 10-pound note(票)fell out onto the desk.Within the note was a letter which said:
Dear sir:
In 1935 I got engaged(订婚).But unfortunately I lost my job.At the time a lot of people were out of work.Six months later I got a job again, but of course I was very short of money.I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring(婚戒).The assistant took out some rings for me to look at, but she was called away for a moment, and I put one of the rings in my pocket.When she came back, I said I didn’t know the size of my girl’s finger.So I left the shop without buying a ring.My wife died a short while ago and the fact that I never paid for the ring has been heavy in my heart all these years.At that time, the ring cost 2 pounds so I think it is 10 pounds at today’s price and I’m sending 10 pounds.
Your truly,
A customer(顾客)
