Dear Sir,

Thirty years ago, I walked into your bakery(面包房) and asked for some loaves(块)of bread to sell. At that time I was twelve years old. A young lady was working that day. She gave me five loaves and wished me good luck.

I took the loaves and went out to sell them. It took me all day, but I sold them all. At the end of the day, I had some money. I was the happiest boy in the world as I walked home that evening.

The next day, I went to a bicycle shop. I paid a deposit(定金)on a new bicycle. And then I started my next job—as a newspaper deliver(递送)boy. Soon I could pay the rest of the money for the bicycle and the bike was mine. I was so proud!

Today, I still work in the delivery business. I have a lot of trucks to send goods(货物)all over the country. I live in a beautiful house, but I don’t ride a bicycle these days. I drive a large and nice car.

I do not know who that young lady was. But because she gave me the start, I have become a successful man. I’d like to show my thanks to her.

Yours,

George Jenkins

Four years ago when I was a boy of 11, I got into the biggest trouble as a kid. It was a Saturday morning. Both my parents were out, leaving me and my 10-month –old sister home alone. Anyway, my sister was still asleep in her room. In fact I had the house to myself. I decided to do some drawing. Soon I gave up. Nothing was on TV, so I felt bored and touched the candles on the shelf …I had an idea! What would happen if I set fire to some kitchen paper?

Well, of course it went on fire, but it wasn’t the tiny flame(火苗) I’d expected, and I couldn’t blow it out .I threw it on the floor, and then luckily got my dad’s boots(靴子)and stamped it out

I thought I was safe until there was a HUGE hole in my room. When my mum came home later, she smelt the smoke immediately. She dropped the shopping bag, luckily for me, over the hole. I thought this meant she would never see it .However, after running round the house checking for a fire, she of course picked up the bag and saw the hole .Next I was grounded(关禁闭) and in trouble for months. Even worse, the hole was still there, reminding me of what I did.
