One afternoon some friends of Susan and Derek’s invited them for a walk in the evening. Susan had bought tickets for the theatre for that evening, but she and Derek agreed to meet their friends before the theatre. They all met early in the evening, went to the park, sat down on a bench, and talked for an hour. When Susan got up, she couldn’t find her handbag. She was very sorry because the theatre tickets had been in the handbag. As Susan and Derek couldn’t go to the theatre, the friends decided to go to a cafe to have supper. Later Susan and Derek went to the nearest police station. They hoped they would know something about the handbag. To their surprise, Susan’s bag was there with everything in it. A child had picked it up in the park and the child’s parents had taken it to the police station.
