Last week, the manager of an old jeweler’s shop received a letter marked “personal”. As he was very busy, the letter lay on his desk 1 teatime. When he opened it, 2 100 note fell out onto his desk. With the note was a short letter. This is 3 it said:
Dear sir,
I got engaged(订婚) forty years ago. 4 (lucky), at that time I lost my job. I was out of work for about six 5 (month) before I got another one. Of course I was very short of money.
I came to your shop 6 (buy) a wedding ring one day. The assistant brought some rings for me to have a look, later she was called away, 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 7 (girlfriend) finger. So I left the shop without 8 (pay) for the ring. My wife died a month ago, and the fact 9 I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience all these years. I always feel guilty about that. At that time the ring cost 20, and I think that is about five times — 100 10 today’s price.
Now I am sending you that amount.
Yours truly,
A customer
After reading the letter, the manager said, “Well, well, well, life is full of surprise!”
