Narrative – A Lucky Find
chat, the boys made the choice to give back the wallet as the right thing to do. As they slowly made their way across the car park heading to Donald Road, Steve blurted out just what Karl had been thinking since they had checked how much money was in the wallet. “Don’t you think it is kind of weird that there is exactly $168 in that wallet?”

“I know, it’s almost as if we were meant to find it and buy that ball,” sighed Karl. When they pulled up outside the house where Bill must live, they once again chatted about whether they were doing the right thing. After all, this man named Bill could be a crazy, cat keeping lunatic and they may never be seen alive again. Or, more likely, he could just be an old man who needed that $168 to pay a bill and who liked to carry around a brown button for luck. After a while, honesty won over a ball, even though the ball was very special.
Later that day as they kicked their shabby, plain soccer ball, they chatted happily about their good luck. They could not believe that they had ever thought about not giving back the wallet. Had they not given it back, they would never have met Bill Wilson, the owner of Wilson’s Memorabilia. Nor would a one of a kind match ball from the 1966 World Cup, signed by all of the members of the Australian team, be up on their games room shelf. It had turned out that the brown button in Bill’s wallet had been a lucky charm after all!
