                  LOST AND FOUND

Neha was very upset because her little sister spilled water on her science project. And, this was not the first time that her sister had spoiled her school work. Therefore, Neha requested her parents to buy her a study table with drawers where she could safely keep her books.

Neha's parents could not afford to buy a brand new table. However, they agreed to buy her a table from a second-hand furniture store. One day after school, Neha's mother took her to the second-hand furniture store, so that she could buy the table of her choice. Though, there were not many choices in that store, Neha pretended to look around.

She casually opened a drawer of an old black table. And, guess what did she find? A small transparent plastic bag with some rupee notes.

"Maybe I have found somebody's secret stuff. Am I the luckiest twelve-year old? My birthday is approaching. With this money, I can buy myself great presents…. maybe a bicycle, stationery, dresses..... and maybe I can even buy things for my family", Neha thought. She was overcome with greed and quickly slipped that bag to the end of the drawer.

She went to her mother and told her that she wanted to buy that black table. Neha's mother told her that the table looked too old and she should look for something better. "No, I like this one. I will paint it and glue some stickers on it to make it look better", Neha insisted. She was feeling scared from inside but her greed prompted her to lie.

Neha could not wait until everybody left after the table was organized in the room. She locked the room, quickly opened the drawer and took the plastic bag with rupee notes out. She found a paper along with that money. It seemed that some old lady was saving money for her children and grandchildren. Neha began counting the money. She could hear her loud heart beat when she finally reached a count of twelve thousand rupees.

But now, with the money she had, she thought that she would have to make up many lies to spend that money. She would have to hide the money all the time and was already feeling scared. She thought, "This money is not meant for me. The old lady had been saving this money for her family. She must have passed away and nobody would have known about the money in the drawer. Therefore, the family would have sold it to the second-hand furniture store."
