It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and Maggie and I
were returning from our walk through the woods．We
were only a couple of blocks from home when I spotted a cell phone and a credit
card sitting on the road．We took them home．We always find amazing things on the street and she
looks upon them as a movable feast-a chicken wing here or a barbecue rib （肋骨）there．
I found another cell phone a few years back, too, and
called a number in its phone book．I explained
the situation to the guy who answered．He said it
was his sister's and that he'd come to pick it up, which he did．
And that was that．No verbal
thank-you, no written thank-you, no “here's a box of chocolates” thank-you．
I didn't have time to call anyone on my latest found
cell phone．I was pouring myself coffee when it started
to shake and dance across the kitchen counter．
“Who's this?” someone asked when I picked up．
“Who's this?” I countered（反问）．“Sarah?”
She was surprised at my knowing her name until she
realized her name was on the credit card．“Could you
send them to me?” she asked．
She lives in Arlington, which is 2 miles from my house．
“Hmm, no, ”I replied, adding that I thought she could
come to get them, and that if I wasn't at home, they would be in my mailbox．
A day later, when I was out for a run, someone got
them back．There wasn't even a piece of paper put in
the mailbox with “Thanks” on it．In this age of e-mail and
cell phone, there's really no excuse．Years ago, I
found something more precious than a $100 bill on the street：a driver's license．I saw
that its owner lived a couple of blocks from me, so I called him up．He asked whether I could slip the license through his
front door．
“I guess I could, ”I replied．
And that was that．
