Dear sir,
     Thiry years ago, I walked into your bakery and asked for some loaves (條，塊) 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 delivery (遞送) 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 (貨物) 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
