Text to Remember

Thanks

Once a week, I sat on the foam mattress of my bed and I painted my toenails. I found the little bottle of nail varnish at the bottom of a charity box. If I ever discover the person who gave it then I will tell them, for the cost of one British pound and ninety-nine pence, they saved my life.
