The Lost Thing

00:00:15 The Lost Thing.

00:00:41 Some of them so funny you would laugh yourself unconscious.

00:00:54 So maybe I'll just tell you about the time I found that lost thing.

00:01:27 It sure wasn't doing much.

00:01:39 Nobody else seemed to notice it was there.

00:02:43 I played with the thing for most of the afternoon.

00:03:07 As the hours slouched by it seemed less and less likely that anyone was coming to take the thing home.

00:04:06 I took the lost thing over to Pete's place.

00:04:18 Pete didn't know what the thing was exactly.

00:04:50 He didn't think the lost thing came from anywhere. It didn't belong anywhere either.

00:05:06 There was nothing left to do but take the thing home with me.

00:05:24 They both just wanted me to take it back to where I found it.

00:05:38 I decided to hide the thing in our back shed.

00:07:01 Mum and Dad would eventually notice when they came out looking for a hammer or something.

00:07:22 Do you suffer from unclaimed property?

00:07:33 Don't panic!

00:07:42 The next morning we caught a tram all the way into the city.

00:08:48 I called for the receptionist.

00:09:30 and then there was a tiny voice.

00:09:45 "Cheers" - I said.

00:10:00 Not very important looking.

00:11:06 The kind of place you would never know existed unless you were actually looking for it.

00:14:23 You know, something with a weird, sad, lost sort of look.

00:14:41 …Too busy doing other stuff I guess.
