Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson that little things still mean a lot. I live on the Big Island of Hawaii. About a month ago, when I started my car and I
1 down at the roadside, a piece of paper caught my eye. I picked it up and
2 it carefully.
The form turned out to be a
3 from the State Motor Vehicle Division, documenting the owners’
4 of their vehicle’s registration fees. Quickly, I put myself in their
5 and figured：no one would throw this out,
6 if it was current.
Although the form had been blown here, where in the busy,
7 parking lot would I find the owner? So I checked the date and noted the name of the
8 , who must be in our town. I thought that the best and easiest step to
9 was to put the form in an envelope addressed to the couple and
10 it by post. So I did it.
On the weekend, a
11 couple called at my house and brought me a big
12 . They said they had panicked and searched for the receipt(收据)
13 everywhere before giving up. Without it they would
14 $8, 000. It felt great to know I’d helped someone
15 a major trouble by doing something which at first glance seemed minor.
