Dear Debby, you let the world know that kind people still exist.
I was on my way to two job interviews. Not surprisingly, I was nervous, so before getting off the train, I took my phone out of my bag, making sure the address was right. A short walk later, I reached the subway, but when I went to get money for my ticket, I found that my wallet was gone. Suddenly I realized that I might have lost it when I phoned on the train.
I ran back to the information counter of the train station and asked the conductor if anyone had found my wallet. The answer was no. I was disappointed. At this time, a woman told me that the train had not left yet. Her name was Debby, and she was a shopkeeper in the train station. I hurried to see if they had found my wallet. Unluckily, it seemed that someone had taken it.
I returned to the information counter heartbroken. Not only would I miss the two interviews, but I was trapped into the embarrassing situation of having no money. I burst into tears as I explained my situation to Debby. To my surprise, she reached into her bag and handed me $7. “It's all I have right now,” she said, “Use it to get to your interviews.” After I finished my two interviews with the $7, I came back to thank her, but she was gone.
I was deeply moved by the woman's kindness. And just when my day couldn't get worse, I received a call. It seemed that a conductor had found my wallet and would meet me on the train the next day.
I just want to share that kindness can happen when we least expect it. When it happens, we should pay it forward.

在去面试的路上
亲爱的德比，谢谢你让这个世界知道还有好人。
那是去在参加两个工作面试的路上。我很正常地有点紧张，所以在下火车之前我从包里拿出手机，拨过去确定地址是否正确。走了没多久，我就到了地铁口，但是拿钱买票的时候，发现钱包不见了。猛然想起可能是在火车上打电话的时候丢的。
我跑回火车站的咨询台，问服务员有没有人捡到我的钱包。那个人回答说没有。我很失望。这时一个女士告诉我火车还没离站。她的名字叫德比，在火车站经营一家商店。我跑上车看有没有人捡到我的钱包，但不走运，好像有人拿走了。
我灰心地走回咨询台。我不仅赶不上那两个面试，而且还陷入了身无分文的尴尬境地。当向德比解释这情况的时候我哭了起来。让我惊讶的是她从包里拿出7美元递给我。“我现在身上只有这么多，”她说，“用它去参加面试。”我用这7美元参加完面试后回来感谢她，但她已经走了。
这位女士的善良深深地打动了我。就当我这一天倒霉透顶的时候，我接到了一个电话。原来一个乘务员找到了我的钱包，说第二天会在火车上还给我。
我想告诉大家的是，在我们最意想不到的时候，会有人向你伸出援助之手。当这种事发生的时候，我们应该把这善举传递下去。

生活中我们常碰到有人在公共汽车上发现自己忘了带钱，结果包有陌生人主动替他解围，虽然那不是很大的数目，但是忘记带钱包的也许赶往的是个很重要的地点。再次碰到帮你出钱的人机会很小，但是你肯定会碰上忘带钱包乘车的人，知道该怎么做了吧？
