I went for a walk in a park a few days ago. When I left the park, I noticed that my phone was gone. It had probably fallen out of my small jacket pocket. I walked around the park looking for it, but I never found it. Finally, I called my wife from a pay phone near the subway station and asked her to try calling my phone. I waited for five minutes and called back. She said that the phone was at a nearby police station. The police officer saw that I was able to open the phone and gave it back to me after checking my ID card. I just wish I could thank the kind person who found it! (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
