· There have not been many times when I found something important that someone lost.
· But, I remember that once I was walking from the bus stop to my home, that I saw a small string like thing popping out of a heap of dust
· It was golden in colour, and out of curiosity I pulled it up.
· I was surprised to see that it was the string of a small pouch.
· It must have fallen off and got buried in the dust.
· I opened it and there were about Rs500/- in it and an EasyDay membership card.
· There was no other thing in it.
· There is an EasyDay store in Phagwara, and I thought that I would go there the next day and try to know the owner.
· I told my mother about the pouch, and she was happy that I had thought of trying to know the owner.
· The next day, I went to the Easy Day store and showed them the card.
· They told me that the card belonged to Harpreet Kaur and gave me her number.
· I called her and told her about the pouch.
· She told me that she had lost it only a day before and had searched for it everywhere she thought it could be.
· She told me that it had Rs. 500/-
· She told me to leave the pouch at the store and that she would pick it up from there later.
· She asked my name and address.
· Two days later, someone knocked at our door in the afternoon.
· My mother and I had just taken lunch, and were sitting in the lobby.
· We opened the door and saw a good looking lady standing there.
· She said that she was Harpreet and that she had come to thank me.
· She said that although the amount was not much, she appreciated my effort of going out of the way to return it.
· She had brought a Cadbury’s Chocolate for me as a token of thanks.
· Believe me it was the sweetest chocolate I had ever eaten.
· We asked her to have tea with us, and now she is a good friend of my mother and they both are in touch through Whatsapp.
