Respect


The following is an extract from a recent English magazine.


" We are always grateful for readers' comments. Imagine asking for a writing pad in a stationery shop only to find that the assistant didn't know what one was . True.
 A manager of a charity shop recently told me how she accepted some books, one of which was a new but clearly unwanted volume of Treasure Island.
 When she opened it a ten pound note dropped out together with the inscription "To my grandson. May you have as much treasure in your life as you find in this book."
 Each chapter was preceded by another ten pound note! It was the charity's gain but how sad that the grandson never discovered the gift or the kind thought behind it.
 Did the grandfather ever find out? I hope not!"

No further comment necessary.
