Young Couple Buys a Used Car and Finds a Wallet under the Seat with an Old Photo Inside – Story of the Day

After buying a used car, George and Miranda discovered an old wallet under the seat. It contained a picture of a cute little girl. They thought nothing of it until George recognized the same girl in Miranda’s mother’s photo albums. The older woman told them a shocking truth, and the young couple made a decision.

“Miranda, let’s go! Your mother is going to get angry at us again for being late!” George yelled at his girlfriend, Miranda, through his car window. He was already in the driver’s seat and waiting for her to come. But this was a common occurrence. Miranda always took a little longer to finish getting ready, and then she tended to forget something behind.

In the meantime, George looked around their new car. Well, new to them. They had just bought it for a great price, and it was in fantastic condition. They bought it together, so it was their first real purchase as a couple. He was pleased about that, as their relationship was moving forward. The next step was to buy a house, but that would take longer.

George decided to look inside the wallet, and he noticed a man’s driver’s license, among other essential things. There were a few 20-dollar bills, but his eyes were drawn to a picture of a little girl. George smiled for some reason, looking at the picture, and didn’t notice when Miranda entered the car.

“Come on! Weren’t you the one in a hurry?” she exclaimed and laughed. George shook his head and started the engine. “What’s that?” Miranda asked, pointing at the wallet.

“Oh, I think this belonged to the previous owner, Mir. He looks pretty young, huh?” he said, handing her the wallet. Miranda inspected it.

“That must be a picture of his daughter. So cute. She kinda looks familiar. A little like me,” Miranda said offhandedly.

“Right? That’s what I was thinking, but then again, a lot of blonde girls look similar,” George replied, still focused on the road. “Anyway, I still have his number. We can call him later and see if he wants his wallet back.”

“The food was delicious, Mrs. Francis,” George said after Miranda’s mother picked up their plates and placed them on the dishwasher.

“I’m glad you...
