This happened a long time ago Back when I was in elementary school My friend and I were walking home from cram school When I spotted a wallet I saw it first And yelled "a wallet!" And when my friend noticed it She picked it up without hesitating We took it to the police right away But when we were there The policeman asked coldly Which one of us found it I said found it But my friend here Is the one who picked it up So then the policeman said All right then Write down your friend's address If six months passes And we don't hear anything From the wallet's owner We'll let you know And then whoever found it Can keep the money So that's that You can go home now He looked me in the eye And said thank you I stayed silent And my friend Didn't say anything, either And we parted awkwardly Six months passed And then suddenly one day My friend showed up At my house breathless I got the money, she said Clutching 2000 yen in her hand I'll give you half She said and gave me 1000 yen You're a really good friend Sorry for doubting you She was a good friend after all She was a really good friend
