Lost bank card

I was coming out of the supermarket when i noticed and elderly couple whom i knew waiting at the bus stop.
I knew they lived near to me and i knew it was no big deal at all to ask them if i could give them a lift home instead of the bus.
Well the woman turned anxiously to me and explained that she would have ordinarily have said thank you but we’re fine, but that morning she and her husband had come up to do some shopping but when she came to pay for the stuff, she couldnt find her bank card! She thought she’d dropped it while waiting for the bus near her home!
So I told them to jump in and we’ll retrace her steps! Suddenly we were on a mission!!
Got to where they lived, they jumped out and started searching for the card on the floor by the bus stop. After nothing found I left them and went home.

Coming out again at the end of the day in the car I spotted them again and so i stopped and asked her if the missing card had been found.
She was so relieved to say she found it on her bedroom floor, but she just kept saying “thank you thank you for helping” over and over again. Me just taking that extremely small step had made a huge difference to their day, sometimes it’s only the small insignificant things!!
