Dear Johann, I must say that I agree with you. If you find something, it should belong to you because you’re the person who found it. Even if I lost something, I wouldn’t expect to get it back. Once I lost a watch, I decided not to look for it. People need to understand that when they lose something they lose the right to own it. Your letter helps me to remember that people need to be careful with their things. Then they won’t need to worry about losing them. So you see, Johann, I got two rewards: one I could give to others and one I could learn from.

Yours,

Hu Xiaomin

Dear Johann, I must say that I don’t agree with you. Though you find something, it doesn’t mean it belongs to, you should try to return it. I’m sure you would want someone to do the same thing for you. Once I found a beautiful picture. I wanted to keep it. Then I remembered seeing one just like it in an officee. I went to the officee and found the person to whom it belonged. The woman was very happy to get it back and gave me some delicious apples. So you see, Johann, I got two rewards: one I could eat and one I could keep in my heart.

Yours,

Hu Xiaomin
