"My wallet! Where is it?" were my first words when I found my wallet was missing. I searched my memory for a few good seconds, then(认识到) that I had left my precious wallet in the library's public restroom!
Because the library was now(关闭), I had to wait until the next morning to look for it. When I got there the next day, all I found was a clean restroom. This was the first time I could remember ever(讨厌) to see a clean restroom. As I walked out, I looked at myself in the mirror and shook my head at the forgetful fool (在前面) of me.
I politely approached(靠近) the librarian at the front desk and asked her if a wallet had been found in the restroom yesterday."No." That was that. I walked off, feeling uncomfortable.
I wondered what I would do if I had found a wallet with (六十) dollars, a phone card and other irreplaceable(不可替代的) (个人的) things. Finally, I painfully accepted the fact that my wallet was gone.
A week (之后), I received a package in the mail. It was my wallet! And most surprisingly, nothing was missing! But there was a letter folded up in one of the wallet pocket that had not been there before. I slowly unfolded the letter which (表达) something like this:
When we continue to help people (周围), we will live in a larger and more rewarding world.
From that day on, I promised (我自己) that I will follow this example and help others and make them as delighted as I was when I opened that package!
