Title: My Lucky Day
Last Saturday was my lucky day. I woke up early and decided to go to the park. On the way, I found a small wallet on the ground. I opened it and found $100 and an ID card. I didn’t take the money. I looked at the address on the ID and walked to the person’s house. She was so happy and gave me $20 as a thank-you gift!
Later that day, I met an old friend I hadn’t seen in years. We talked, laughed, and went for coffee. In the evening, I entered an online contest… and I won a free pizza!
It was the best Saturday ever. I usually don’t believe in luck, but that day made me think again.
