Question

My wife Nell and I wanted to rent a car in Florida's Tampa Airport. When asked how I was going to pay I opened my purse to get my credit card (信用卡) .It wasn't there.

Nell and I looked at each other in shocked silence. Then from the line behind us a voice asked "How much do you need?" When I said we would need $ 300 to get us through our first week the kind man gave us the needed money. We discovered he and his wife were returning home to Toronto a couple of weeks later on the same flight as we were so we made sure to see them to return the money and give them a gift to thank them.

I later found out I had left my card at a garage (力卩油站) in Toronto a week be?fore our v.u-ation. When I called the garage they actually sent the card to us in Florida where it arrived safely just a few days later.

Tom North York Ontario I travelled by bus to Halifax to visit my brother George. After he had met me at the terminal (终点站) ，we caught another bus to his house. We got off so quick?ly* though that I forgot my purse. George ran after the bus but couldn't catch up with it-Then I phoned the bus terminal to explain what had happened. Being in a city where I knew only a few people I really didn't think I'd ever see my purse and money again. But a few hours later there came a knock on the door. It was a secur?ity officer (保安) ，and he was holding my purse！

"A passenger gave it to our driver " he said. And then he asked me to see if anything was missing;everything was still there.
