Once upon a time there was a woman who loved to hike (when it wasn't over 100 degrees!) and went as often as she could. One lovely (and sort of warm) morning she hiked up her favorite trail keeping a good pace and working up a nice "glow" (ha!).
When she arrived back home she realized with much distress that her Driver's License was missing out of her oh-so-fashionable CamelBak hiking fanny pack. It must have slipped out one of them times she switched the music on her phone. Sigh.
She immediately but somewhat reluctantly returned to the preserve to re-trace her steps. Back up the steep trail she hiked, much slower this time since she was both tired and scanning all over for the ID. She also asked every single hiker/biker that she passed if they'd seen her license.
Despite hiking the entire trail her license was not recovered. So she returned back home even more tired, hot and downright smelly than before. She reported the license as lost to the police and drove very very carefully to pick up her kids from school. Sigh.
Later that afternoon the most amazing thing happened.
The doorbell rang and it was a family returning her license! This family had seen the license on the neighborhood entry box and brought it to the house. That means that there was another kind person that found her license on the trail and brought it as far as the neighborhood gate.
Kind people are still out there! Happy endings all around.
The End.
