When the elderly lady in number fourteen went to her mailbox she got a surprise.
She nearly missed the small piece of paper folded neatly in half. She could just make out that it was a handwritten note. She took it back inside and found her glasses. She was feeling curious and a little excited. She nestled into her armchair and read.
Hello
I just wanted to say that I’ve always been impressed with the way you keep your front garden looking so lovely. You probably find my note rather strange, but I live a few streets from here and walk past it sometimes when I return home by bus, like today. My husband past away recently and as I was leaving for his funeral this morning, I ran over my cat. When I arrived there I was told that I had the wrong date and the service was yesterday. Then, when I went to leave, my car wouldn’t start and I had to have it towed to a garage. That’s why I came home by bus today, past your beautiful garden.
I hope you understand,
I just had to say something really positive, to alleviate all the negativity of my day.
Thanks.
