A few years ago, I was given a wallet. A beautiful elephant was woven into its front panel. The wallet was1to me by a close friend on my birthday.

The wallet was not only beautiful, but it also had a personality: it loved to run away, as I told my parents over and over again, only to receive eye2in return. "Joey, really, you've lost it again?" they would say every time I replaced it. Fortunately, I would eventually3it in my own house.

One day,4, as I was leaving a football stadium at a school, the wallet once again5 from my pocket. I discovered the6when I got home. I searched the house and I prayed, as usual. Nothing.

This man, to find whom the wallet belonged to, looked inside of it, and found a 10which my parents had written to me. It11have their business phone number on it. Upon getting my wallet back, I wrote a brief letter to the man expressing my 12, and remarking on what an amazing act of kindness he had committed and that he was truly a13person. I would be forever grateful to him. I concluded and14it off to him.
