You're out and about doing whatever it is you've got on your agenda for the day when you just so happen to spot a dark patch of color among the snow that lines the side of path you're on. Upon closer inspection, it's a leather wallet, stained from the dampness of the snow. Peeking inside, you find two things: one, a crumpled list of people's first names with random objects scribbled next to them and a collection of dollar bills. A lot of dollar bills. In fact, at first glance, it looks to be well over two hundred dollars.

There are no other items in the wallet - no identification, no credit cards, nothing to help you identify the wallet's owner, just a shopping list and a wad of money. Looking around the area, it's clear that nobody else is around.

What do you do?


Winter break had finally come, and Abby was living!

...Okay, so it had technically just started, school having finally let out for the final time until January, but winter break was finally here! And what could make her day better? The snow of course! it had been falling in nice, thick sheets lately, and oddly, school still wouldn't let out, when it should have, because who would make children go to terrible school every day in the terrible cold? Adults, that's who, the jerks.

Ah whatever, she was free to hop and jump in the snow now, which she did, making her way towards her favorite park right by her house, jumping into a particularly large snow mound, only to get hit with something.

"Ow! did someone put rocks in here? I knew that was too good to be tru--oh! That's not a rock." She paused mid complaint, noticing the item that had hit her wasnt a rock (and in this cold, certainly felt like one), but was in fact a brown square, specifically, a wallet. Abby picked it up, immediatley opening it to see if there was an owner id, only to come up empty. Well, slightly. Inside was at least several hundred dollars, she didn't bother counting, she just saw some twenties and guessed.

She could buy alot of stuff with this! That bat she wanted, christmas presents, maybe even her favorite playground/park! She furiously shook her head. "No, no, that isn't what you do with lost things that aren't yours, it's not right." She repeated something her dad told her, should she ever find a missing item. Which left her with only one decision, find an adult to give the money to. She looked around the park for someone, anyone, but she was alone. She huffed. Well, she'd just have to return it herself then!

She made her way past the park, wallet tightly in hand as she marched determidley towards her house.

....well, who better to help than a parent?

She burst excitedly into the house. "Dad!" She yelled, startling her father, who she knew was home. He merely jumped, long used to his youngest daughters energy. "Yes Abby?" He asked, turning his attention to her, blinking when the wallet was shoved in his face. "Honey, how did you get that?" "I found it! I brought it home because your dad, and you know what to do!" She explained, dropping the wallet into his lap. She may be a terror, his terror, but she was good through and through, and he loved that about his duaghter. Her dad smiled, getting up, wallet in hand. "Well, I think we need to head to the police station, and how about after we get hot chocolate? Good kids who do good deeds deserve rewards." Abby's eyes sparkled, and had she not been dressed still in her winter clothes, would have jumped into them once hot chocolate was mentioned. "And after, can good kids get new bats!?" Her dad just smiled, leading her out the door and to the car. "Well, i think Santa might have got that for you, it was on your list right?" she nodded excitedly, bouncing slightly as her dad got in the car, starting it and driving towards the police station.

Hot chocolate wasnt much compared to the money, she knew, but she liked doing a good deed, and getting to spend time with her dad, so Abby felt like she still won
