There have been many times when I found something important that someone lost, but one time stands out. I was walking home from the bus stop when I saw a small, shiny object sticking out of a pile of dust. It was golden in color. Curious, I picked it up. To my surprise, it was a small pouch that had fallen off someone's bag and was buried in the dust. I opened it and found about 5,000 rupees inside.
