TEXT
Last week the manager of an old jeweller's shop received a letter marked "personal", so his secretary gave it to him unopened. As he was very busy, the letter lay on his desk till teatime. Then he opened it and a £10 note fell out into his desk. With it was a short letter. This is what it said:
" Dear sir,
In 1935 I got engaged. But unfortunately at that time there was a lot of unemployment and I lost my job. I was six months without a job and then I got work again, but I was very short of money. I came to you shop to buy a wedding ring. The assistant brought some rings for me to look at, but somebody called her 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 girlfriend's finger. So I left the shop.
My wife died a short while ago and the fact that I never paid for her ring made me unhappy all those years. At that time the ring cost £2, so I reckon that is about £10 at today's prices , and I am sending you that amount.
Yours truly, a customer.
"Well, well", said the manager, "life is full of surprises".
