钱包里的小纸条
The lost wallet that came back with a note
Name: ________________ Date: ________
星期五晚上，我回到家，才发现我的钱包丢了。
钱包里有我的身份证、银行卡，还有三十五块钱。我找了很久，书包里没有，衣服里也没有。
第二天早上，楼下的王叔叔给我打电话：“小林，有人给你送东西来了。”
我马上下楼。是我的钱包！里边的东西都在，一块钱也没少。
可是钱包里多了一张小纸条：
“你好！我在公园门口的椅子上看见了你的钱包。身份证上有地址，我就送过来了。还有，你的咖啡卡上已经有九个红点了。我用它买了一杯咖啡，现在有十个了。下一杯不要钱，请你喝吧！”
我笑了。这个人是谁呢？
星期六下午，我去了那家咖啡店。我对服务员说：“我的卡上有十个红点。”
服务员看了看卡，又看了看我，笑着说：“那个钱包是你的吧？”
她给了我一杯咖啡。她指着窗户旁边的一个女孩：“她每个星期六都来这儿。她说，你可能也会来。”
我拿着咖啡走了过去。女孩看着我，笑着问：“咖啡好喝吗？”

English (for the teacher)
On Friday night I got home and only then realised I'd lost my wallet.
In it were my ID card, my bank card and thirty-five yuan. I looked for ages: not in my school bag, not in my clothes.
The next morning Uncle Wang downstairs phoned me: “Xiaolin, someone's brought something for you.”
I ran straight down. It was my wallet! Everything was there, not one yuan missing.
But there was one thing more in it: a little note.
“Hello! I saw your wallet on a bench by the park gate. Your ID card had your address on it, so I brought it over. Also, your coffee card already had nine red stamps. I used it to buy a coffee, so now it has ten. The next cup is free. It's on me!”
I laughed. Who was this person?
On Saturday afternoon I went to that coffee shop. I told the waitress, “My card has ten red stamps.”
She looked at the card, then at me, and said with a smile, “That wallet was yours, wasn't it?”
She handed me a coffee. She pointed at a girl by the window. “She comes here every Saturday. She said you might come too.”
I carried the coffee over. The girl looked at me and smiled. “How's the coffee?”
