Finders Keepers
When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I occasionally allowed them to walk to and from school alone, if the weather permitted. It was a short distance, so I knew they were safe and no trouble would befall (降临) them.
One warm spring day, a cute puppy (小狗) followed them home after school. When my husband got home that evening, she climbed into his lap to watch TV. The girls were both begging me to keep her.
She had no collar (项圈) or identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about running an ad in the lost-and-found but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up.
By the end of the week she was part of our family. She was very intelligent and good with the girls. This was a good idea, I thought. It was time the girls took responsibility for another life.
The following week something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular ad jumped out at me and my heart pounded with fear at what I read. Someone was pleading (恳求) for the return of a lost puppy in the vicinity (附近) of our grade school. They sounded desperate. My hand shook. I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the phone.
Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the ad. I quickly tucked (把……塞进) the paper away in the closet. There was only one problem: my conscience was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our puppy was the one they were desperately seeking.
It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. Finally, with sweaty palms (手掌), I lifted the receiver and dialed. Secretly I was praying no one would answer, but someone did. The voice on the other end was that of a young woman. After describing the dog to her in detail, she wanted to come right over.
