Hannah was enjoying her coffee at a small café when she suddenly realized her backpack wasn’t next to her. She quickly stood up, feeling her heart race. She remembered placing it on the chair, but it was gone. While looking around, the waiter approached and asked, “Are you looking for a blue backpack?” Hannah nodded nervously. He smiled and pointed to the counter. “Someone turned it in. You had left it near the door.” Hannah sighed with relief. Checking inside, everything was still there. She thanked the waiter and the honest person who had found it. From that day, she always double-checked before leaving any place.
