Cool... sometimes i find a note and i pick it up all excited and i take it home and read it and it's inevitably a breakup letter about how much the writer hates the recepient.
I found an envelope of money once when I was a kid, I was all excited until my gran made me hand it in. In all honesty, looking back, it was probably some old dears pension.
Found a love letter once, some girl dumping her boyfriend. He must've thrown it away, or dropped it in his despair. It depressed the shit out of me. I don't lift things up like that anymore. Curiosity always kills me.
This looked like it was someone's homework, and they were learning English. There were definitions of words like 'knife' and 'knowledge'. The date puzzled me, since I don't think the piece of paper can have been there for almost a year. Maybe they just tore the two pages out of their notebook and threw them there recently.
I am always curious about letters that arrive that are not for me, and have now learnt that opening them is not usually pleasant. Letters to grand-daughters telling of ailments, birthday cards stating how much the sender cares and hopes to hear from them soon, it's all too sad. Even messages on my answerphone that are similar, maybe I should stop listening to that too, just in case there are more of them.
