One Friday afternoon, when the sky was blazing hot, Adam went to a crowded and stuffy bookshop to buy some books for revision.
When he was
browsing through the books, Adam’s forehead had beads of perspiration trickling
down. He took out his handkerchief from
his pocket to wipe the sweat away. Little did he know his wallet had slipped
out from his pocket when he took out his handkerchief.
When he was done
selecting the books, he went to the counter to make payment. He tried to take
out his wallet from his pocket but it was not there. He was anxious to find his
wallet.
There came a staff
member of the bookshop. She had found Adam’s wallet. She was running towards
Adam and said, “Is this your wallet?” Adam said, “Yes!” excitedly. Then, the
staff member returned the wallet to Adam. The staff reminded him not to be
careless again. Adam nodded and thanked the staff member for returning his
wallet to him. After paying for the
things that he wanted to buy, Adam went
home, relieved!
From that day
onwards, he reminded himself to take
care of his belongings properly and be responsible for his belongings always.
