A Found Thing
About two years ago, I was walking by the sidewalk next to a supermarket, when I saw a purse on the ground. In a first moment, I grasped it and continue my walking. The purse had some coins, a ten euros bill and a bus pass. Not very far, I was thinking about the person who had lost it, so I went back and I asked for the head of the store. I asked her if any people had asked for a lost item. She told me that nobody had asked for anything lost. So, I continued my trip. Of course I stayed with the money and the bus pass and I throw away the purse. Before I get away, the manager told me that few people would have asked how I had done. I just only do what I would like people would do for me.
Fa uns dos anys, anava caminant pel carrer quan vaig passar per la vora d'un supermercat i vaig veure un moneder a terra. En un primer moment, el vaig agafar i vaig continuar caminant. El moneder tenia algunes monedes, un bitllet de deu euros i una targeta d'autobús. No estava gaire lluny quan em vaig posar a pensar en la persona que l'havia perdut, així que vaig tornar i vaig demanar per l'encarregat de la botiga. Li vaig preguntar si algú havia demanat per algun objecte perdut. Ella em va dir que no, que ningú havia demanat per res perdut. Per tant, vaig continuar el meu camí. Per descomptat, em vaig quedar amb els diners i la targeta del bus i vaig llençar el vell moneder. Abans de sortir, l'encarregada em va dir que poca gent hauria preguntat com jo ho havia fet. En realitat, només faig el que voldria que la gent fes per mi.

Trip es como viaje...
Nunca añadimos una coma después de So
Of course I stayed withkept the money and the bus pass, and I throw awaygot rid of the purse.
If you really want to say "throw away", then you should use the past tense "threw". But "got rid of" is more natural.
Before I get awayleft, the manager told me that few people would have asked how I had done.
I don't understand what you mean, si quieres me lo dices en español y te lo pongo en inglés or you can explain in English.
I just only do what I would like people wouldothers to do for me.
Just + only = incorrect

Great work, let me know if you have questions.
I forgot to correct the title: "A Found Thing" doesn't sound natural...you could say "What I Found" or "A Lost Object" for example.

Antes de irme, la encargada me dijo que pocas personas habrían preguntado (si alguien había perdido algo) cómo yo lo había hecho.

Thanks. I really appreciate all your feedback.

Antes de irme, la encargada me dijo que pocas personas habrían preguntado (si alguien había perdido algo) cómo yo lo había hecho.
OK. Therefore "Before I left, the manager told me that not many people would have asked [about the purse] like I had done".
The bit between brackets is optional.
Now I understand why you put "how", because you are thinking of "como", let me try to explain the difference.
1) "not many people would have asked *how* I had done it" = "pocas personas habrían preguntado cómo yo lo había hecho" -> aquí pones énfasis en el how, es decir, *la manera en la que lo hiciste*... Como si los demás te hubieran preguntado de qué manera habrias preguntado en la tienda, por ejemplo si era lentamente, rápidamente, etc... this is why it didn't make sense to me before.
2) "not many people would have asked *like* I had done it" = "pocas personas habrían preguntado como yo lo había hecho" -> aquí pones énfasis en el hecho de haber preguntado, es decir, *de la misma manera* que la acción que describes. Qué otra gente no habría hecho lo que tú en esa situación.
En español es la misma palabra pero en inglés like y how tienen distintos significados. I hope that makes sense sorry if it's not clear!
