My best friend，Apple，was a stamp-collector.He tried every way to get stamps and spent every penny he had on them.Once he obtained a beautiful or precious stamp he would be more than happy.I was always his companion in his search for stamps. One day Apple whispered to me mysteriously that he had found a most wonderful stamp on a letter addressed to our young arithmetic teacher，who was a very pretty and kind-hearted girl.Apple wanted that stamp badly and the idea of stealing the letter occurred to him.I was frightened and begged him not to do that. That evening Apple hurried to my home and showed me a letter.It was a man’s handwriting.In the letter，the man implored our teacher to forgive him and asked her to meet him at the gate of Central Park at eight that evening.If not，he’d take it that she would never forgive him，and it meant the end of their relationship. “The teacher asked me if there was any letter for her this afternoon.You see，she knows I am a stamp-collector and always wander about the place where letters are delivered.When I said ‘No’，she looked rather sad，” Apple told me.We were completely at a loss.Too frightened to go to the teacher，we decided to go to the meeting place ourselves. At the park gate，we saw a tall young man with glasses，walking back and forth as if he was waiting for someone.I did not know how long we had been there.Finally，the man left，looking very worried and disappointed. A few days later，Apple ran to me with stamps in his hand and tears in his eyes.He told me that these were from our teacher.She said that she once had a friend who was a stamp-collector too，but she had lost him forever，so the stamps she had collected for him were no longer useful. ... 1．How did the author feel about Apple’s plan that day?
