Not necessarily yours

My 3-year-old nephew Jamie was visiting me one summer. He found a red ball in the road, picked it up and started playing with it. After a while we turned to go home and he said, “I’m going to put the ball back where I found it.”

“Don’t you want to play with it?” I said.

“I want to put it back where I found it because it isn’t mine.” I thought for his age how mature he is. Jamie made me realize what you find isn’t necessarily yours.
