Cmdr. Brian Peters, policeman, spent his last day on the job giving out gift cards to people.

    "The people and city have been great to me," he said. "It feels good to give back." Peters has been a member of the Brooklyn Centre Police Department for 14 years. On his final day, he used his daily paycheck(薪水支票)to buy gift cards, each worth $50, to hand out to people. "My goal is to walk around the city and just find people that could use a little money to buy the kids some toys," Peters said.

    Over the course of a few hours, Peters drove around the town, searching for people to share the gifts with. A recipient said she would use the gift card to buy food and back-to -school(返校)things, after Peters met her with three of her children at a bus stop. "It was a surprise." she said. "He blessed us and I was really happy about that."

    The policeman also surprised a mother of four, a woman with damaged(损坏的)car and 20--old-year- man and his girlfriend. Peters hopes to help build good relation- ships between people and the police "Community service is very important. When you're lucky in life, you should give back to others who aren't so lucky. "he said. "That's what makes the world go round."

People coming back home from work .

Take the map with you. It can you the strange place.

    Kim Bogue, a keeper in California, worked overtime to save money for a trip to Thailand to visit her family and friends. She saved over 900 dollars and was planning to buy ticket, but she lost her purse with all her money and credit cards.

    Kim looked through the garbage and all the buildings where she worked but came up empty-handed. She went home heartbroken. She believed that she had lost her money forever. While Kim was at home, sad and depressed, a homeless man was searching through the garbage looking for things to sell. As he was looking through a garbage bag, he found something wrapped in a plastic bag.

    The homeless man, who did not want to be identified, took the purse to Sherry Wesley, because she knew him from her volunteer work at a homeless shelter. The home- less man said, "This probably belongs to someone that you work with, can you find the owner?" Sherry Wesley works in one of the buildings that Kim cleans and she knew Kim had lost her purse.

    Kim was amazed when she heard the good news. "I couldn't believe it when they called me, " she said. "He has a very big heart. If someone else had found the purse, the money would be gone. " As a reward, Kim gave the man 100 dollars. The homeless man gave half of the money to Sherry Wesley and asked her to donate it to charity for him.
