On Friday afternoon, Raj was walking home from the train station when he saw a brown wallet on the footpath.

He picked it up and looked inside. There was some money, a bank card and a driver's licence.

The name on the licence was Margaret Fisher. The address was only two streets away.

Raj thought about what to do. He could take it to the police station, but that was twenty minutes away.

So he walked to the address and knocked on the door. An older woman opened it.

"Excuse me, are you Margaret?" he asked. "I think this is yours."

Her eyes went wide. "My wallet! I've been looking for it all day!"

She wanted to give Raj some money, but he said no. "It's OK, really."

The next week, there was a card in his letterbox. It said, "Thank you, Raj. You're a legend. Love, Margaret." There was also a homemade lemon cake.

Answers: 1. On the footpath · 2. Took it to Margaret's house · 3. A card and a lemon cake
