origami ram, the story

The Story

On entering the train carriage I sat by a window, I discovered someone had left an origami ram exquisitely made out of a lined piece of writing paper. I looked around me no one was there; I puzzled about its origins with delight and curiosity. What to do? Possibly it would end up in the bin so I brought it home. In time it has gone on another journey through the places I have taken it. It feels a special person left a wonderful gift, although I will never know whom - I thank them.
