What would you do if you found a wallet full of cash - $1,500 to be exact? Would you return it? A recent incident in California might surprise you. A teenager was seen on surveillance footage returning a wallet with $1,500 inside. It happened outside a home in California after the young man found the wallet filled with $1,500 in cash and credit cards in the driveway of a neighbour’s home, proving that there are still good people out there.

Tom
$1,500? That’s a lot of money.

Phil
Yeah, it is! I’d be absolutely devastated if I lost that amount of money!

Ammayyuu
I would be devastated, as well! ‘Devastated’ baay’ee rifachuu.

Tom
And the people who lost the wallet were probably devastated! That is so much money to lose!

Phil 
Yeah, but when they got it back they were probably completely thrilled! Imagine how happy they were to get their wallet back.

Ammayyuu
Absolutely! ‘Thrilled’ jechuun guddaa gammadu. Yes, what a relief!

Tom
I think I’d be thrilled if I found that much money on the street!

Phil
Really, Tom? Would you seriously think about keeping the money if you found it on the street?

Tom
I’d probably think about it, yeah. I mean, if someone is carrying around that much money in their wallet and they lose it, that’s their fault, really! They should be more careful!

Phil
Ok, true, but it is quite easy to lose a wallet. I mean, we’ve all done it.

Ammayyuu
Yes, I have, and I was very upset.

Tom
Well, I haven’t. I always know where my wallet is.

Phil
Well, then you don’t know what it feels like to lose something that’s valuable to you. You can feel totally heartbroken.

Ammayyuu
Yes, especially if it contains some personal possessions that you can’t replace. ‘Heartbroken’ jechuun baay’ee gadduu.

Phil
Exactly! When I lost my wallet a few years ago, I was more heartbroken about losing my photos than anything else.

Tom
I suppose, to be fair, I probably would be more likely to return a wallet if it had personal things in it.

Ammayyuu
Tole, asumaan gaaffii duratti gaafanne haa ilaallu. Magaalaawwan kanneen keessaa kamtu irra caalaa amanamaadha?

a. Moskoo, Raashiyaa

b. Riyo de Jenariyoo, Biraazil

c. Magaalaa Finlaand, Helsinkii

Deebii sirriin (c) dha, Helsinkii.

Tom
Oh, Phil, if only you’d lost your wallet in Helsinki, eh?!

Phil
Yeah, that would have been good!  I might have got it back. I would have been absolutely ecstatic if that had happened.

Ammayyuu
Me too! ‘Ecstatic’ jechuun miira olaanaan gammachuu ibsachuudha.

Tom
Do you know what would make me ecstatic?

Phil
What, Tom?

Tom
Finding your wallet.

Phil
Why?

Ammayyuu
Yeah, why?

Tom
So then I could give it back to you.

Phil
Oh, Tom!

Ammayyuu
Gaariidha Toom! Atihoo? Boorsaa maallaqa guutuu nama jalaa bade tokko yoo argite ni deebistaafii? Wanta tokko gattee heartbroken’ haalaan gadditee beektaa? Moo siif deebi’uu isaatiin ‘thrilled’ ‘gammachuudhaan sagalee guddiftee iyyitee beekta?
