This letter was written in to the Today newspaper on Thursday 9 April 2009.
I am touched by what was written by this 16 year old International student who has been here for 2 years.
In summary, the student took a taxi to his friend's home but realised that she left her mobile in the taxi. She managed to contact the person who found it and took another taxi to retrieve it though she kept her waiting, as she took down the wrong address.
After collecting her mobile, she took a MRT train to catch up with her friend. She called her friend and related the whole episode to her and that she has no more money left after the 2 taxi ride.
After she hung up, a middle-aged man insisted that he gave her $10. I suppose he must have heard her conversation and decided to help her.
What a touching incident and I am glad that there are nice and gracious people around.
David
