Last week, I drove to Joe’s Hardware to get a few items. Upon returning to my ____1____, I noticed a cat underneath and bent down to investigate. At this point, my wallet fell off-but I didn’t notice it was ____2____ until about an hour later. I ____3____ my steps, asked around and tore my car inside out. Nothing. I lost my wallet.
After this fact sank in, I was about to call the bank and have them ____4____ me a new credit card when a little voice inside my head said, “Whoa! ____5____. Someone must have picked it up. An average citizen, just like you. What would she or he do?”
So I held back and I was going to give it a day. Then, early that evening, I was surfing the Internet for a new wallet when I heard a knock on the door. There was a man who I did not ____6____. Could it be?
After we exchanged greetings, he ____7____ me my wallet. He found it in the parking lot, thought of dropping it off at Joe’s Hardware but ____8____ to drive over and return it in person.
He told me his ____9____, but I was overcome with emotion and cannot be 100% sure. I think it was David. I offered him a cash reward but he refused. He was just a regular guy doing the right thing.
David, thank you so very much for returning my wallet and reinforcing my belief that there are some good and ____10____ people around.
