Last week the manager of all old shop received a letter.As he was very busy, the letter lay on his desk till teatime.Then he opened it and $10 fell out onto his desk.Together with it was a short letter.It reads:

Dear sir,

In l935 I got engaged, but unluckily I lost my job.At that 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.The girl took out some rings for me to look at, but she was called away for a moment.and I put one of the tings in my pocket.When she came back, I said I did not know the size of my girlfriend’s finger.So I left the shop without buying a ring.

My wife died a short while ago and that I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience all these years.At that time the ring cost $2.80 I think the ring may cost about $10 now, and I came sending you the money.

Yours truly

A customer
