Question

    A man worked in a post office．His job was to process（分类处理）all mails that had wrong addresses．One day a letter came to his desk，addressed to God．He thought，‘‘I can open this one and see what it’s all about．”So he opened it and it read，“Dear God，I am an 83-year-old woman living in a very small apartment．Yesterday someone stole my purse．It had a hundred dollars in it which was all the money I had．”

    “Next Sunday is Mother’s Day，and I had invited my last two friends over for dinner．Without that money， I have nothing to buy food with．I have no family to turn to，and you are my only hope．Can you please help me?” The postal worker was touched，and went around showing the letter to all the others．Each of them dug into his wallet and came up with a few dollars．By the time he made the rounds，he had collected 96 dollars，which they put into an envelope and sent over to her．  

    The rest of the day，all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of the nice thing they had done．Mother’s Day came and went，and a few days later came another letter from tile old lady to God．All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened．It read，“Dear God，how can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your generosity（慷慨）¨was able   to prepare a lovely dinner for my friends．We had a very nice day，and I told my friends of your wonderful gift．By the way，there was 4 dollars missing．It was no doubt（怀疑）those thieves must be at the post office! ! !”
