Have I made any mistakes?
When Linda lost her expensive Dior sunglasses while hiking on a little island, almost the whole village went around looking for them. She couldn't believe that the people could leave their work and other things they were doing and engage in the search for her glasses. After all she was just a stranger and a tourist who was going to leave the island soon and probably didn't come back.
After a few hours, a teenage boy came up to her and gave her the sunglasses. He refused a reward and told her that no tourist was going to leave their island disappointed. Linda got tears in her eyes. Their hospitality and kindness were so generous that she was overwhelmed. The villagers were not wealthy in economic therms, but their inner richness was enormous. She looked at their suntanned faces. and they all smiled at her. She compared them to the people in the city where she lived, and felt embarrassed. She couldn't remember when it was the last time there that a stranger or a passer-by had given her a smile or showed kindness.
