It was a day for rest. The weather being fine, everybody went out,and so did I. My friends and I went shopping in Hankou and did not return until it was dark. As we walked from the gate of the university to my dormitory, it suddenly occurred to me that I had forgotten to buy something I needed, so I went into a small shop for it. When it was time to pay, I reached into my pocket for my wallet but couldn't find it anywhere. I got a big surprise and anxiously told my friends about it. I did not know what to do. I wouldn't have worried so much if there had been only money in the wallet. But all my credentials, such as my student identity card and my residence permit were in it. And these things were important to me. Back in my dormitory I had no mind to do anything. I wished that it be picked up and returned to me with just those important things.
Two days had passed,as I walked through the lobby on the ground floor to see if I had got any mail,the janitor called me over for something. I wondered why, because I had never had much to do with him. He told me that somebody had called while I was out and had asked him to pass on to me a box. I returned to my dorm and opened the box. I opened my eyes wide and could not believe what I saw. It was my wallet that had been lost two days before. I looked inside and found everything still in there. Not even a cent was missing!I jumped up in great joy. But who was the person that had picked it up and returned it? I had no idea. it moved me deeply and I shall never to forget it. |
