Well, it is a very common thing that a human lost something by mistake. I also lost lost little things during my school as well as college time. But here I would like to talk about an incident when I found a passport of an unknown person during a ah. Journey. I explained it briefly. About a couple of months ago, I was going to my college. Actually, my college is located at some distance from my village. I go over there via bus. On that day, I took a bus to reach my destination at about nine ah am m in the bus, just a few seats were free to sit. I sat down on a seat and felt some a relaxation. But suddenly I felt something in my feet. I thought it is a um. Paper or a small notebook which someone had lost. But I. When. But when I stopooped down in to take it, I saw that it was a password. I checked it and it asked all the people who were available on the bus. But I felt so stunnedd that everyone said no for this. That uh. Passport was sometime some one another. I saw that it was the passport of a lady named Sabasai checked an address on it but I did not know about that unknown place. After it, I took it with me.

It's quite common for people to lose things accidentally. I've lost small items myself during school and college. But I'd like to tell you about a time when I found a passport belonging to an unknown person during a journey. A couple of months ago, I was traveling to college by bus. My college is quite a distance from my village. That day, I boarded the bus around nine in the morning. There were only a few seats left, so I sat down and relaxed. But then, I felt something under my feet. I thought it might be a piece of paper or a small notebook that someone had lost. When I bent down to pick it up, I realized it was a passport. I checked with everyone on the bus, but no one claimed it. The passport belonged to a woman named Sabasai. I saw an address on it, but I didn't recognize the place. I decided to take the passport with me. I went to college, attended my classes, and then explained the situation to my teacher. He advised me to go to the police station, so I did. That evening, I went to the nearest police station and gave the passport to the inspector. I told him where I found it. He assured me he would return it to the owner and thanked me for my honesty. I thanked the inspector and went home. That was the time I found something someone had lost. Since then, I've become more careful about my belongings during my travels.
