The thief returns the cell phone!!!

The thief returns the cell phone!!

 
About two weeks ago, my wife “Joy” was on the bus in Dalian China where we live. The bus was so crowded as it was bitter cold outside. A man stuck his hand in my wife’s purse and stole her cell phone. When she got off the bus and into a store she was going to call one of the Chinese orphans we care for. We call them our children and they call us grandma and grandpa. We have 13 children altogether. Joy finally noticed her cell phone was gone and knew it was stolen. So she went back to the apartment and one of our girls who is studying to be a nurse, called the house. Grandma, she said, where have you been, I have been trying to call you. Joy said someone stole my cell phone on the bus. So Xu Ling ( sounds like Shoe Ling) called Joy’s cell number. A man answered the phone. Xu Ling said you stole that phone from my grandma; she needs that phone as she cares for 13 children and she needs it. The man hung up. So Xu Ling calls another girl and all the other children. They start calling the man. That is my grandma’s phone, you must give it back. She doesn’t have the money for another. Those precious kids pestered that thief until he said, “I will bring it back, it is too much trouble”. That is what he did. That will teach him to steal from Grandma Joy.
