He actually always does it, a routine: bus driver Vincent checks the vehicle he is driving in that shift in advance for lost and found items. Did no one leave anything behind?
Last weekend, for example, he found a letter on box 42, handwritten, probably by a child. Vincent discovered that it was clearly a New Year’s letter: this is a Belgian tradition in which children, from the age of about three, read a self-made letter to their parents and other family members on January 1. The letter is often written in rhyme.
Return delivery
Vincent thinks that the letter he found was left in the mail last Friday, and is now looking for its author via Facebook. “I put myself in the place of the child who wrote that letter. I hope that I can return the letter to the child or to the parents and hope to make them happy,” he told the Belgian newspaper. VRT News.
Vincent reads the letter in the video. This can be seen below:
The video has been picked up by several Facebook users and Belgian media. “A friend of mine wondered if a video might work,” Vincent said.
The text goes as follows:
Dearest Mom and Dad,
Once one is none,
Another year has passed.
Two times two is four,
A year full of fun.
Three times three is nine,
A blessing for every day.
Ten times ten is a hundred,
That will certainly be very special.
Eight times eight,
a sun that always smiles.
A thousand times bravo,
A big kiss for you,
Mirza
And now Vincent wants to know who Mirza is, so that he can return the letter.
“You can all share this,” says the bus driver after reading the video, “maybe it will end up with the child’s parents.” The driver told VRT News that he could imagine that a child had worked very hard on the letter, Mirza had ‘probably practiced a lot to get it right’.
Five thousand people have now watched the video on his Facebook page.
