I went to buy an ice-cream cone for my son this morning, and in taking out my wallet, a little pouch containing my keys promptly fell out of my handbag.
I realized this after we’d left the store. I had no idea where I’d dropped it, so we doubled back to a couple of places we’d been to, namely the post office and a few other stores along the way.
Nothing turned up. I even asked the store staff if they’d seen my little pouch or if someone had turned it in. Nope. Maybe someone thought it contained cash and decided to keep it. Problem is there was no cash inside, only two keys.
We started walking back to my car. I was really upset that I’d been so careless. I’m usually much more careful than that. But things happen, I guess.
Then it suddenly occurred to me to go back to the store where I’d bought the ice-cream and see if they have a Lost and Found department. Yes, it’s a very big store so they could very well have one.
The lady at the front counter was really nice and when I told her my story, she nodded knowingly and asked me what color the pouch was and what it contained.
Then she reached behind her desk and brought out my pouch. Yes, my pouch with my keys still inside!!! I was so happy I couldn’t thank her enough. I’m so glad there are still honest people out there.
