Painting Lost at Airport Found in Trash

"Okay, sir. Your total comes to NT$285". ..

Okay. Oh no! I forgot my wallet! 我的皮夾呢?

Where did I leave it? I can't remember!

Oh, never mind, it's in my pocket!

Have you ever lost something that is very important?

Or have you ever lost something that is worth a lot of money?
你曾經弄丟很重要或是很有價值的東西嗎?

A man in Germany forgot something that was incredibly valuable at the
airport. It wasn't his wallet or a little bit of money.

He lost a very, very expensive painting!
有人在德國的機場，弄丟了一幅非常昂貴的畫！

How does a person forget a painting?!

The painting was very expensive. It was worth over 8.4 million Taiwan
dollars! 價值超過台幣 850 萬！

Of course, when the man arrived back home, he realized he forgot his very
expensive painting.

He tried to call the police to help him find it.

They looked everywhere, but couldn't find the painting.
他打電話給警察，請他們幫忙找，結果還是沒發現。

Finally, someone in the man's family went to the airport themselves to try to
find it.

They spoke to the police there, and together, they found the painting!
家人後來回到機場和警察一起找，最後終於找到畫了！

Guess where it was?

Someone put the painting in a recycling dumpster!
猜猜看在哪裡找到的？答案是在回收箱裡面！

Thankfully, the painting wasn't ruined, and it was sent back to the man who
lost it. Lucky him!
