Last Tuesday, Owen took the bus home from school in Portland. He sat in the back, near the window. When he stood up to get off, he saw a brown wallet on the seat next to him.
Owen opened it. Inside, there was some money, a library card with the name David Cohen, and a note with a phone number. There was also a small, old photo of a young woman.
For a moment, Owen thought about the money. But then he looked at the old photo and thought, "This is important to someone." He took the wallet home and showed it to his father. Together, they called the number on the note. A woman answered. "That's my father's wallet!" she said. "He has been looking for it all day."
An hour later, Mr Cohen came to their door. He was very happy, but he didn't care much about the money. "This photo is of my wife when she was young," he said. "It is the only one I have." He wanted to give Owen a reward, but Owen said no. "Seeing you smile is enough," he said.
