That day was like any other day in his life. After school Michael walked past the shop in the street corner. He stopped to some shoes, and he felt sorry for himself. He wanted to have a pair of shoes for his birthday. He walked away sadly and thought of what to tell his mother. He knew she would give him if she could. But he also knew very well she had money. He decided not to go home , as he looked worried and his mother would notice it. So he went to the park and sat down on the grass. Then he saw a boy in a wheel chair. He noticed that the boy moved the wheels with his hands. Michael looked at him carefully and was to see that the boy had no feet. He looked at his own feet. “It is better to be without shoes than feet.” he thought. There was no reason for him to so sorry and sad. He went away and smiled, thinking he was more lucky in his life.

Sometimes it is impossible to deliver（投递）all the mail that arrives at the post office. Perhaps there is an mailing address and there is no return address. The post office cannot just the mail, so it becomes “dead mail”. Dead mail is to one of the U.S. Post Service’s in Atlanta, New York, and San Francisco. Seventy-five million pieces of mail can be put in these offices in one year.
There the workers of the dead mail offices have ways to deal with all of these pieces of dead mail. First of all, they look for that can help them deliver the mail; they open packages, expecting that something will show where the package came from or is going to. Dead mail will also be listed on a so that people can call in and check to see if a missing thing is there on the screen. However, all of this mail cannot simply be forever; there is just too much of it. When a lot of dead mail comes together, the dead mail offices hold public auctions (拍卖). Every three months, some people who are are invited to the offices with objects found in dead mail packages and they are sold to the bidder (出价者).
