A
I was shopping in the local farmers' market in San Isidro，Costa Rica on a sunny Thursday morning.I love this market because it is the second largest in the country.
I first stopped my car at a garage to have my car repaired.Then I went to the market.An hour into my shopping after collecting all my organic produce，I reached in my bag for my phone.But it was gone.The zipper (拉链) was not zipped on my bag，perhaps my phone fell out and got picked up by someone.
I went around to all the venders (小贩) I visited asking if they had come across a lost phone.The last time I remembered using the phone was at the garage and I remembered putting it on a table.At that time，I saw an old lady walking slowly with heavy bags in both her hands.
I asked the woman if I could give her a hand.She handed me a bag and we walked.She was probably in her late 70's and the bag was full of produce.We talked a little on our walk.She said she would go home by bus.As we came to a street corner we walked in the opposite direction of the garage.But I didn't stop to go to the garage.After many city blocks we came to the bus stop.As I put her bag down，she thanked me again and again.
After the bus went away，I walked back to the garage.I asked，as the repairman handed me my key，if anyone happened to see a pink phone on the table in the waiting room.“Sorry，we didn't.”
I walked to my car and unlocked my door.To my great surprise，my phone was just on one of the chairs.
