Magic wallet

I kind of know that I should not tell anybody about this kind of things. I know it, but I can’t keep it in myself.

This is just between you and me. I have a magic wallet.

The degree of the magical power that my wallet has is not that strong. The wallet, unfortunately, doesn’t increase the amount of money I have in it.

The magic I am talking about is – This wallet shows up without being stolen anything , no matter how many times you lose it.

It was the last year when I came to realize the magic my wallet has. I was staying a hotel in Tokyo, Japan. I was checking email on a coin operated computer in a hotel. How stupid I was! I left my wallet at the computer. I realized I lost my wallet when I tried to buy a train ticket. All of my body started becoming clammy, my spine started shivering. I sweat like a pig crossing the river.

Abracadabra, here comes the magic. Somebody turned it in to the front desk of the hotel without losing even a cent (yen, to be precise). This is very common story in Japan, though. They are generally very honest. (And I am one of those. LOL)

The second time happened here in Alabama. I had run some errands in a city where was about one hour drive from my home. After I got home, I couldn’t find my wallet. Shoot! I lost it again. I made a bunch of phone calls to every single place that I could think of. No luck. After three thousand five hundred twenty six phone calls, I found out that it was found in a parking lot of a supermarket.

Abracadabra, here comes the magic. My wallet was returned to me without losing a cent. HERE IN AMERICA!


The salesperson didn’t mention anything about the magical power to me when I bought this wallet. There was a little instruction card in the wallet. That card didn’t mention anything either. I would imagine if they told you before you buy, the magic would disappear.

It was a kind of expensive wallet. Five dollars wallet shout be more than enough for me. But it was a lot more. By the time I got out of the shop with new wallet, I didn’t have any money to put in it. On thinking back, that price is the additive value for the magic.

Once I got this magic wallet, I can now go anywhere without paying particular attention not to lose the wallet. When I lose it, it will come back to me without fail. I triumphantly told my wife about the magic that my wallet has.

Her response? Well, I let you guess.
