The Lost Wallet
As she walked to the bus stop, she noticed a small black wallet on the ground.
She picked it up and looked inside. There was some money, a bank card, and an ID card with the name “Ahmed Kareem.”
Maria waited for a few minutes. She hoped someone would come back to look for it, but no one did.
At home, she called the number on the ID card. A young man answered.
“Yes, I lost my wallet today!” he said. The young man sounded surprised and happy.
They agreed to meet at a nearby café. Ahmed smiled when he saw Maria and thanked her many times.
“Not everyone would do this,” he said.
Maria smiled back. “Actually, most people would do this nowadays,” she replied.
As they said goodbye and walked in different directions, they both felt very happy. It was a good day for both of them.
