This story happened in Brazil.

Later that day …

Those are some nice colored pencils! I’ve never seen them before.

Well … I found them in the hall at school.

Girl and Mom

How would you feel if those were your pencils and you lost them?

Sad.

Girl and Mom talking

Whoever they belong to is probably looking for them. How can you help return them?

Maybe I could put them in the lost-and-found area at school!

The next day …

Image

Pencil box with note on it

I found your pencil case and put it in the lost and found. I hope you get it back. They are really cool pencils!
