On the way to the train station we found a mobile phone on the street; battery out, seemed broken. I decided to pick it up and try to put it together to see if it worked. It did! I chose a number from the contact list and found a woman who luckily knew the owner so I asked her to please let them know I had the phone. She couldn't reach them so I tried with the station guard; he is not allowed to keep these things.
After 15 minutes, worried about my train, while thinking what to do, a man called the phone. It was the owner's husband! I explained and he couldn't believe it. He asked if I could
please wait for him so I did. He came to the station in 10 minutes and soon after his wife arrived.
The look in their faces made it all worth it. I'd lost my train but felt so happy to have helped. It could have been 'my' phone. They offered to buy me flowers or give me something, which I of course refused. I thanked them for it and told them their being so pleased and grateful was more than enough for me :-)
