阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
On my way home, I found a
wallet which contained only three dollars and a letter that looked as if it had
been in there for years. The envelope was worn and the only thing that was
clear to read on it with the return address. The letter was written almost 60
years ago, which told Michael, the recipient(收信人), that the writer could
not see him anymore because her mother forbade it. Even so, she would always
love him. It was signed "Hannah."
I called information in the
hope that the operator could find a phone listing for the address on the
envelope. The operator helped me find the woman who bought Hannah's parents'
house 30 years ago. She remembered that Hannah had to place her mother in a
nursing home several years ago.
I called the nursing home. A
man told me the old lady had passed away but Hannah was staying with them. Even
though it was late at night, I asked if I could come by to see her.
"Well," the man said hesitatingly, "if you want to take a
chance, she might be in the day room watching television."
I drove over, and the night
nurse and a guard greeted me at the gate. Accompanied by the nurse, I went up
to the 3rd floor. In the day room, the nurse introduced me to Hannah.
I told her about finding the
wallet and showed her the letter. The second she saw the envelope, she took a
deep breath and said, "Young man, this letter was the last contact I ever
had with Michael. I love him very much. But my mother felt I was too young.
Michael Goldstein was a wonderful person. If you should find him," she
hesitated, almost biting her lip, "tell him I still love him. You know, I
never did marry…"
I said good night to Hannah. At
the gate, the guard asked, "Was the old lady able to help you?" I
told him she had given me a last name which might help me find the owner of the
wallet.
