Maria buys milk at the store. She pays and puts her wallet in her pocket. Outside, she sees a friend and talks for a minute. After the talk, she reaches for her wallet. It is not there.
Her hands move fast. She checks her bag and her coat. No wallet. She feels cold and a little afraid. She goes back into the store.
At the counter, a young boy waits with a small black wallet. 'Is this yours?' he asks. Maria opens it and sees her bus card and a photo of her family.
'Yes, thank you!' she says. She gives the boy a chocolate bar to say thanks. Maria walks home happy and careful.
