I was walking down the street the other day, I happened to notice a small brown
leather wallet lying on the side-walk. I picked it up and opened it to see if I
could find out the owner' s name. There was nothing inside it except some change
and an old photograph -- a picture of a woman and a young girl about twelve
years old, who looked like the woman's daughter. I put the photograph back and
took the wallet to the police station, where I handed it to the desk. sergeant.
Be-fore I left, the sergeant took down my name and address in case the owner
might want to write and thank me. That evening I went to have
dinner with my aunt and uncle. They had also invited a young woman so that there
wouldbe four people at the table. Her face was familiar, I was quite sure that
we had not met before, but I couldn' t remember where I had seen her. In the
course of conversation, however, the young woman happened to mention that she
had lost her wallet that afternoon. All at once I realized where I had seen her.
She was the young girl in the photograph, although she was now much older. She
was very surprised, of course, when I was able to describe her wallet to her.
Then I explained that I had recognized her from the photograph I had found in
the wallet. My uncle insisted on going to the police station immediately to
claim the wallet. As the police sergeant handed it over, he said that it was
amazing that I had not only found the wallet, but also the person who had lost
it.
