I have a friend who found a wallet and through a series of amazing circumstances found the owner who was part of a migrant group from Jamaica who came to the United States to pick apples. The way she found him and what happened next were truly miracu-lous.
One day recently, Laurie Fenby, was shopping at a garage sale in Rochester, New York and as she was leaving, she found a wallet on the ground. She looked inside and found a Jamaican driver's license, some American cash and some Jamaican cash. She tried all the usual ways to locate the man, whose name was George.
She couldn't find him through Google or Facebook and then she asked for suggestions through Nextdoor, a community website. Laurie received a lot of ideas and responses—some of them not so positive. But one lady suggested that she contact a little store that is known to have many Jamaican migrant workers as clients. Laurie called the store and found that yes, indeed, there was someone named George who lost his wallet.
She suggested that the owner contact George and have him call her. When George contacted her, he was able to identify all the con-tents of the wallet and Laurie returned it.
But it didn't stop there. Laurie asked George, “What do you and the migrant workers need?” He said they needed some warm clothes. Laurie immediately contacted the next⁃door community and organized a clothing drive. She received lots of T⁃shirts, sweatshirts, shoes and other supplies.
Recently Laurie met George and the other migrant workers here in Rochester, and she joined them to pick apples together. They thanked Laurie and her friends—and none of this community⁃building or friendship would have happened if the wallet had stayed in George's pocket.
4. When did Laurie find the wallet?
A. When she was shopping.
B. When she was picking apples.
C. When she was leaving after shopping.
D. When she was asking for suggestions online.
5. Why did Laurie finally contact the little store?
