R ead this letter to the newspaper.
Dear Sir I amwriting to say thank you to a stranger. I hope that that person will read my letter and know I am talking about him. Last Monday, my grandma was getting off a bus in town. The bus suddenly lurched forward and Grandma fell and twisted her ankle. A young man stopped and helped her to a bench although it meant he missed his own bus. Then, he put Grandma in a taxi and paid her fare home. My family would like to thank this anonymous helper. Yours sincerely, Amos Parker
