When people find something valuable and return it to its owner, they are often given a reward. This is because the person not only found what was lost but also spent time   46  its owner or taking it to the police station.

There was once a young boy   47  found a woman’s purse in a shopping centre. Inside the purse there   48  some money and the woman’s driving license. Her name and   49  were printed on the license, so the boy knew where she lived. That evening he went to her house and   50  her door. When she opened it, he said, “ I found your purse,” and handed it to her.

“Thank you very much,” she said. She opened her purse and took out all the money. She wanted to give the boy a small reward,   51  there were only bills of ＄20 in the purse and she thought that $ 20 was too   52  to give the boy. “ I’m sorry,” she said, “ but I don’t have any small    53  to give you.”

The boy said, “That’s all right,” and he went away.

A few days later he found   54  woman’s purse. It also had her driving license in it, so he knew where she lived. He went to her house and said “ I found your purse,” and handed it to her.

“Thank you very much, “ she said. She opened her purse and took out all her money.

“That’s   55   ” , she said, “ Before I lost my purse I had a $100 bill and a $20 bill in it. Now I have a $100 bill, a $10 bill and two $5 bills.”

“Yes,” the boy said, and smiled.
