My husband Jack and I went to visit a friend in hospital last week. Suddenly, Jack's mobile phone rang, it was my mother calling from my home. She asked if I had lost my phone. I checked my bag. It was gone!
I used Jack's phone to call my number. A boy answered it. "I found your phone in the mall!" he said, excitedly. "I'm Rhys. I have been trying to find you, but because it was getting late, I decided to leave." He gave me the address of a coffee shop near his home.
Later that evening, I went to meet him there. I was afraid to go alone, worrying he was a cheater(骗子). So Jack came along. After driving 10km, we got to the coffee shop.
As soon as I saw him, my worries were gone. Rhys was just a young boy. "How did you tell my mum?" I asked. He explained that when he found my phone by the roadside, he started calling people in my contacts list(通讯录), starting with the letter A. He called Adam, one of my friends and Adam called my house.
I was happy to get my phone back with all the phone numbers, messages and photos in it. I thanked Rhys and offered him some money, but he refused. He's really an honest boy.
