Abrupt as it might seem, George came up without hesitation and asked if
they were his, but there came a disappointing answer. On second thought,
he realized nobody would be so foolish as to wear them right inside the
store. He had no other alternative but to ask the cashier to keep them in
case the lost gloves were found. Then he dragged his legs towards the exit.
During the whole holiday, he was always thinking whether to buy a new pair.
After all, in deep winter, he could not do without gloves. Finally poor
George decided to buy another pair of leather gloves. With the last ray
of hope, he stepped into the store again. No sooner had he opened the door
than the cashier told him there was indeed one such pair as he lost. After
examining them carefully, he was wild with joy, expressing sincere
gratitude and saying to himself that a good action was never lost.

Suddenly, he found a man looking like a lawyer, wearing a pair of black
leather gloves. The same color and the same style. He felt a dull flush
of anger creeping up his face. Without hesitation, he dashed to the man,
grasped his hand and started to have a wild argument. But his rage began
to fade when he noticed the gloves still had the price tag on them. Suddenly, embarrassment came dominating him. After profuse apologies, he paced out
speechlessly with hands in his coat pockets, frustrated and desperate.
During the whole holiday, he was always thinking whether to buy a new pair.
Sorrow kept clouding his heart day and night. Just as he was to give up,
a call from the store lit up his hope again. His gloves was found by a
customer, and was now at the cashier’s! His face was brightened with
excitement. With hands trembling, he exclaimed, “I do know a good action
is never lost!”
