黛西·歐文丟失了她的錢包,里面有錢、銀行卡等重要物品。那么,她能找回自己的錢包嗎?
Daisy Owen lost her purse during anight out with friends several years ago.She had all but given up on getting it back.
Paul Calderbank is homeless, butwhen he came across a lost purse, he didn’ttake any of the cash, though he reallyneeded it. Then Paul began looking forclues: Who owned the purse, and more importantly,how could he get it back to her?
He began walking the streets askingif anyone had misplaced a purse. But hehad to be careful. He’d feel just as bad ifsomeone claiming to own it took the pursefrom him wrongfully. So he wrote a note explaininghis intentions.“Did not want totell anyone in town because they wouldhave tried to cheat me saying it’s one oftheir friends’,”he wrote.“I want to locatethe true owner and personally hand all herbelongings back to her,”the note continued.“Because to me it feels so good to dothe right thing.”
Paul was somehow able to find Daisy’s home address and was making the longwalk to find her when he came across oneof her friends. The friend contacted Daisy.“This man has found my bag and spenttwo days walking around asking and tryingto find me, and was just on his way to myhome address to try and return my bag tome personally!”she wrote. In an effort topay him back, Daisy set up a GoFundMepage and is working toward getting himenough money to put a deposit (訂金) onan apartment.
