Yesterday wasn’t Mr. Smith’s day. He had a difficult day at


his office, he was making a system report during the day, but he didn’t
finish it because he was sending some e-mails which he had forgotten the
day before, so his boss was so upset and he was looking forward to going
home. As he was leaving, a man got in front of his car and made him stop.
Then the stranger told him to get out of the car. Fortunately, three men
who were passing by heard him and came to help him.

One of the men who helped Mr. Smith said, “When we saw the
man who was standing in front of your car, we realized he was trying to
steal it.” Mr. Smith was so thankful and was trying to call the police, but
never had an answer.
Finally, when he got home, he found a letter from his wife on
his bed that said, “I’m leaving you, I was waiting for you but you never
came back, and I am working too hard, I’m taking care of our kids, we
never spend time together, besides you never listen to me. I’ll find a man
who really loves me”.
