pointed it out to Kim.
"It's a watch," Kim said, bending down to pick it up. She ran her fingers across the diamonds surrounding the watch face.
"Let me see," Chieko said. "Is it broken?"
"No, the watch is fine, but look. The clasp on the strap is broken. I bet the person who lost it doesn't even know it fell off."
"What should I do?" Chieko asked.
"You should keep it," Kim said. "It's beautiful—finders-keepers you know."
"One time I lost my necklace," Chieko said, putting her hand up to touch the blue stone that hung from a silver chain around her neck. "The clasp broke, and my necklace fell onto the school parking lot. When I realized it was gone, I rushed to the office to ask if anyone had turned it in. I didn't think that anyone had. If someone had found it, I was afraid they would keep it. I was so sad."
"So, what happened?" Kim asked.
"Someone did turn it in," Chieko said. "That was one of my happiest days."
"So, what are you going to do?" Kim asked.
"I plan on putting up flyers to see if someone has lost it," Chieko replied.
