情书

Dear Gavin, As the autumn months come once again and many people think of this as the start of the drab,dull time of year,I know better．And my love,the reason I know better is because of you．Already in my late thirties when I divorced and left a terrible situation,I thought true love would never come my way．But there you were,a strong plain-spoken man fourteen years older than me,as wonderful as the other situation was cruel．As much as my heart and soul began turning more and more to yours,I knew my dream of sharing a true romance with you could probably never be．

Honest Scales 1 The synagogue looked like any other synagogue in Poland．But near the door was a set of scales．Strangers often wondered about them．But the people of the town knew why they were there．2 Years back a drought,had come to the town．For months there had been no rain．Wells were dry．Gardens and farms were scorched．The people suffered thirst,and hunger．Some died．3 The jews of the town looked for help to their rabbi．And the rabbi prayed．But nothing happened. 4 One night the rabbi was alone,praying．He fell asleep．In his sleep he heard a voice say:"Your prayers will bring no help,There is only one man in town who can help.It is Kalman the grocer. You must call all the Jews to the synagogue and Kalman must lead the people in prayer．"
