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

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 till teatime. When he opened it, a $100 note fell. out onto his desk. With the note was a short letter. This is what it said:
Dear sir,
I got engaged (订婚的) forty years ago. Unfortunately at that time there was a lot of unemployment and I lost my 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, 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 without paying for the ring. 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 $ 20, and I think that is about five times- $100 at today's price. Now I am sending you that amount.
Yours truly,
A customer
