John was at the lobby of the hotel when he noticed he didn’t have his wallet. He went back to his room and searched all over the place, but his wallet wasn’t there. His wife had to pay for everything because all his cards and money were in the missing wallet. A week later, John’s cell phone rang while he was having lunch. He answered, and another man spoke to him. It turned out that this other man had taken John’s wallet by mistake at the hotel. Since then, he had been trying to contact him. Both John and the other man arranged to meet, and the next day John recovered his wallet, and he also made a new friend.
