How it works
If you find something you did not bring, it is somebody else's.
Somebody lost it, and they may feel sad.
We do not keep it. We give it to a grown-up, who helps us find the owner.
Worked examples
Whose is it?
- Kit finds a little blue car on the path.
- He did not bring a car, so it is not his.
- Somebody must have dropped it.
How would I feel?
- Kit thinks, how would I feel if I lost my toy? So sad!
- He carries the car to his grown-up.
- He says, I found this on the path.
Found it
- They walk around the park, asking, has anybody lost a car?
- Then Bun runs up and says, that is my car!
- Bun hugs her car, and Kit feels warm inside.
