Recently divorced in my 30s,Ihad no job and was on my way downtown on a rainy day to go to the employment offices.Ihad no umbrella, for my old one had fallen apart, andIcouldn’t affordanother one.
Isat down in the streetcar--- thereagainstthe seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle inlaid (镶嵌着…的) with gold and bright enamel (珐琅).Ihad never seen anything so lovely.Iexamined the handle and saw a name on it.The usual procedure would have been to turn in the umbrella to the conductor, butIdecided to take it and find the owner myself.
Igot off the streetcar in a downpour and carefully opened the umbrella to protect myself. ThenIsearched a telephone book for the name on the umbrella and found it.Icalled and a lady answered.Yes, she said in surprise that was her umbrella, which her parents, now dead, had given her as a birthday present, but it’d been stolen from her locker at school years before.
She was so excited thatIforgotIwas looking for a job and went directly to her house.She took the umbrella, her eyes filled with tears.Iwas only too happy to see her get back the lost umbrella, and get a job she offered me.
