It was amazing what one could find walking around the neighborhood. The other day, Sam picked up a wallet that he mailed to the owner using the address on the driver’s license found inside. This time around, it was a medical walking boot lying abandoned on the sidewalk. It was still in good shape. He thought of looking for the owner but then changed his mind. He reasoned that the owner must have gotten rid of it in exultation because he didn’t need it anymore. Besides, it was finders keepers. He could sell it on eBay for a good price.

Laila was staring through the window like a miserable puppy. Her step mom punished her after half-sister Mia complained that she ate her Halloween candies. Laila saw her dad did it, too, but she didn’t say a word. Only the thought of monsters lurking behind the trees prevented her from running away.
As dusk settled in, her dad interceded on Laila’s behalf. After asking his wife’s permission, he opened the door and let his favorite daughter in.
“Thank you for not being a tattle-tale,” he said. “I owe you.”
“You owe me big time, Dad, I can’t wait for Christmas.“
