Anna loved visiting her grandmother’s house in the countryside. Every summer, she stayed there for two weeks. Her grandmother had a big garden with flowers, fruit trees, and a small pond.
One morning, Anna was picking strawberries when she saw something shiny behind the old tree. Curious, she walked over and found a small metal box. It was dirty and covered in leaves.
She picked it up and opened it slowly. Inside, there were some old coins, a photo of a young boy, and a note. The note said, “To my grandson. Keep this safe. – Grandad, 1975.”
Anna ran inside to show her grandmother.
Her grandmother looked surprised. “Oh my! That belonged to your Uncle James,” she said. “He lost it when he was a boy. He was so sad about it.”
“Can I give it back to him?” Anna asked.
“Of course. He will be so happy.”
When Uncle James came to visit that weekend, Anna gave him the box. His eyes filled with tears.
“I thought this was gone forever,” he said. “Thank you, Anna. This means a lot to me.”
From that day on, Anna always looked more carefully around the garden. She didn’t find anything else hidden, but she felt happy knowing she had brought back a lost memory.
