But one man, from California by reasonable assumption, who goes by Dave, recently took procrastination (拖延) one step further, by paying a parking ticket almost a halfcentury after it was given. In December 2018, the Minersville Police Department in Pennsylvania received a letter in the mail. Whoever wrote the letter decided it was best to keep his name somewhat unknown, so he put the return address as Wayward Road, Anytown California under the name Feeling guilty. When the officers opened the envelope, they found a brief letter, along with a $5 bill, and a parking ticket dating all the way back to 1974. The note read, Dear PD, I39。ve been carrying this ticket around for 40 plus years always intending to pay. Forgive me if I don39。t give you my info. With respect, Dave. Even though the initial parking ticket was only for $2, Dave must have felt awfully guilty because he left 150 percent, or $3, in interest. Michael Combs, the Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department, stated in an interview that the same ticket would cost about $20 if it were given today. Combs went on to share that the original ticket from 1974 was given to a vehicle that had an Ohio license plate. Because there was no system for tracking tickets given to outofstate cars back then, Dave could have gotten away with never paying the $2 fine. But apparently, guilt got the best of him, and he decided to finally cough up the money more than 40 years past its due date.（1）How much do we know about Dave?

Hey Steve, she said, I know you39。ve always been an animal lover. I39。ve just had a baby and I can39。t keep my mini pig. Being fond of animals, I knew I wanted the pig. I just had to figure out how to make it happen. I lived in a twobedroom singlelevel house in Georgetwon, Ontario. It39。s tough to bring a pig back to the house I share with two dogs, two cats, and my lifelong partner. But I was not letting that pig go. So I told Laura I39。d take the animal. When I got home with the pig, I hid her in the bedroom, and began to prepare a dinner for Alisha—her favourite bacon cheeseburgers. It39。s better to make her happy before introducing the new member to her. When I led her to the bedroom and showed her the surprise, Alisha stood in the doorway like a statue. It took her a few seconds to know what I had done. She plained about my unreasonable action. She insisted there was no more room in the house. I knew I was wrong, but I hoped I could smooth things over. Soon enough, the lovely pig did the smoothing for me. Never had we felt such joy as she brought to us. We got her a name Esther. Esther39。s arrival changed our lives. A few weeks later, we decided to stop eating bacon. We figured it was our turn to try to change the world for other animals. A few months later, we moved to a farm where we cared for abandoned animals—so far, six rabbits, six goats, two sheep, one horse, three cows and three chic
