The notebook without a name

A notebook lay on the bus seat after everyone else had left. Leena opened only the front cover to look for a name. There was none. She did not read the personal pages. Instead, she gave the notebook to the driver and described the seat where it had been found. Later, a pupil asked about a notebook with a torn green cover. Leena directed the pupil to the driver's lost-property procedure rather than handing over an item she no longer held.
