Georgina Jones and Leah Sean Davis. Before we go, a couple of weeks ago, we covered the story of the kindness of strangers. Well, we've received some emails from the listeners. Here's one from Rebecca from Colorado in the US that says, I dropped my cell phone on the sidewalk one time. This was before smartphones existed.

A stranger found it, dialed ICE in my contacts in case of emergency, and he offered to mail me my phone. I offered to pay him back for the postage, but he said no.
