A Surprising Discovery at Work
While working at a fast food restaurant one day, I noticed a lady had left her Louis Vuitton bag on a table. After waiting 20 minutes and realizing she wasn’t returning, I took the bag to the lost and found. I didn’t look inside; I just placed it there and resumed my duties.
A Month Later
A month passed, and the bag remained unclaimed. My manager casually asked, “Hey, it’s been a month…do you want that bag?” After some thought, I agreed. I went to the back to retrieve it and finally decided to open it.
A Hidden Surprise
To my surprise, the bag was empty except for a single piece of paper. The note read: “To the girl who needed a new purse during the holidays.” I glanced at the receipt and saw the bag had cost $1,700! It appeared that the lady intended to leave the bag for someone in need—a beautiful act of kindness.
Embracing the Gift
I packed my belongings into the bag and took it home, keeping this discovery to myself. The purse became more than just a stylish accessory; it boosted my confidence during job interviews and helped me feel more put-together.
A Lasting Reminder
I still cherish that bag today. It serves as a reminder of my humble beginnings and inspires me to pay kindness forward. I strive to give back to others whenever I can.
