Being trusted and what to do with things you find, sentence 8

A tiny coin on an empty pavement is different: there is no way to find its owner, so a few cents or pennies may be kept, but bigger finds should be handed in.

Who acts: tiny coin, way · What happens: be, find, keep, hand in · To what, where: owner, few cents, bigger finds

This is a sentence of the lesson «Being trusted and what to do with things you find» of the everyday course of Mova's primary school.
