Strange Meeting It was mid morning when I was sitting in the park‚ as I looked across the way I saw an object that resembled a wallet. I walked over just to see what it was‚ and sure enough it was a woman’s wallet. Popping the latch open‚ I examined to see if there was any sort of identification that could lead to the real owner.
