When teacher Margret Atkins, 39, went to ride her bike to school last Friday, she was shocked to discover it (steal). When our reporter spoke to her, she told him that she'd been angry when she realized he bike was gone. It was quite old bike her grandpa had given her years ago. She said it was (valuable) gift she'd ever received.
So what did she do? She decided (write) a note to the thief and put it where the bike had been taken away. To her surprise, she (find) the thief had returned the bike, together with a written apology(道歉) later that day. "What I did was (complete) wrong. 1'm really sorry I took your bike. Hope you can accept (I) apology!"
Mrs. Atkins told reporters she was not going to call the police she was no longer angry. She was just thankful that she could go to school on her bike again. She added that she'd probably write another passage to the thief. "I want to thank him returning the bike and tell him I've forgiven(原谅) him," she explained. "People sometimes make (mistake), but the important thing is that they own up to(承认) what they've done," she said.
