Cheryl was thrilled to find her little coin pouch! She had lost it the day before because she left it on the bench at the train station. I didn't notice that she had left it behind and only asked her where it was when we almost arrived at our destination.
Instantly she looked under the seat we were on and then her eyes turned red and she started sobbing. She said she left it on the bench but it was not there anymore. Sigh. I told her to be more careful the next time and to keep it in her bag the next time.
When I related the incident to Daddy, he told me to go to the Control Station to check if anyone had reported its loss.
So the next day, C and I headed for the Control Station immediately. I was half expecting the personnel there to tell me that no one had returned it. After all, the coin pouch was such a cute little thing. But surprise, surprise!
She took it out from their Lost and Found drawer and returned it to Cheryl!
No one was happier than our Little Precious and she kept jumping up and down. When the train arrived, she turned around and said "Mummy, keep in the bag, please."
Yes, she has learnt her lesson.
And a big "Thank you" to whoever had found and returned it.
