One Sunday afternoon, an old man was crawling on the floor in
the dark movie theater. The people around him were very
much annoyed. What are you doing, sir? asked a young
woman.

Im looking for my handkerchief, answered the old man.

I have five one hundred-peso bills in it. So the young woman

helped the old man find his handkerchief. The two seemed
disappointed when suddenly the young woman stepped on
something bulky. She picked it up and went to a lighter side of
the theater. It was the handkerchief with money!

Ive found your money! exclaimed her.

Thank you very much, said the man happily.
