发生在圣诞节的感人故事
(HappeninatouchingChristma sstory)
recently divorced, i was in my 20s, had no job and was on my way downtown to
go the rounds of the employment offices. i had no umbrella, for my old one had
fallen apart, and i could not afford another one.
i sat down in the streetcar--and there against the seat was a beautiful silk
umbrella with a silver handle inlaid with gold and necks of bright enamel. i had never
seen anything so lovely.
i examined the handle and saw a name engraved among the golden scrolls. the
usual procedure would have been to turn in the umbrella to the conductor, but on
impulse i decided to take it with me and find the owner myself.
i got off the streetcar in a downpour and thankfully opened the umbrella to
protect myself. then i searched a telephone book for the name on the umbrella and
found it. i called and a lady answered.
yes, she said in surprise, that was her umbrella, which her parents, now dead,
had given her for a birthday present. but, she added, it had been stolen from her
locker at school (she was a teacher) more than a year before.
she was so excited that i forgot i was looking for a job and went directly to her
small house. she took the umbrella, and her eyes filled with tears.
