It was a sunny day, and as a routine for years, I was shopping at my local supermarket. On that particular day, I had done about 2 weeks worth of shopping and 1 toward the counter to pay for my groceries. After the cashier had scanned my items and I had bagged them up, she stated that the total was $150.
I 2 into my back right pocket to grab the money to pay and noticed that there was no money there. I started to get 3 . I knew my purse was in the car and I was sure I had put the money in my back right pocket. I looked at the cashier with wet eyes and a 4 look not knowing what to do. There were people behind me on the line! She told me to speak with the courtesy counter (爱心柜台). I 5 And said, "Really? It's cash. No one would hand that in!" But she 6 me to. "You never know. . ." she said. I decided that there was no 7 in checking, so I walked up to a woman behind the counter and said, "I have to ask, did anyone 8 cash by any chance?"
She asked, "How much?" My face then 9 . "$200 in the form of one hundred dollar bills." I replied.
She said, " 10 , yes, someone did!"
I was so 11 ! "Who! I want to thank her."
She pointed to a young girl about 10 years old and said, "She did."
I walked over to the mom and hugged her. She said, "It wasn't me, it was my daughter". I said, "I know. I wanted to thank you both, 12 she found it. It's because of you that I got this back." I was so happy, I was almost in tears.
The next day at work, a person in another department 13 me tickets to the circus. He handed me 5 tickets. Almost instantly that young girl's face appeared in my head. After work I went back to the supermarket and stopped at the courtesy counter and asked if she had any idea who that woman was. She smiled and said, "Yes, she is a friend of mine". Then I asked her to do me a favor and pass along these 5 tickets to her.
She told me that the family of the little girl who found my money were not rich, so they would really 14 this. She also said that they had 3 children, so five was the 15 number of tickets!
