In the local newspaper of my city recently, there was a surprising story about a man named Mike Smith, from a small town about 40 miles away from my home. He had served ten years in a New York prison for robbing a supermarket. When he finally was let out Mr. Smith found it rather hard to find a job. Everyone knew that he bad been in prison, and thus nobody trusted him any more. He had no money, no house, no food, no family, no friends. In the end, in desperation, he calmly walked into a local barbershop where he was well-known, pulled out a gun, and took all the money the barber had. Up to this point it had been a fairly routine crime, but then something unusual happened. Mr. Smith did not try to get away! He walked into his car calmly with the money, drove slowly out of town, and waited for the police. When they caught him, he said only one sentence. He turned to the arresting policemen and said with a smile, "Glad to meet you again!" After reading the story, I let out a deep sigh. I do think it is a sad story.
