Acorns aren’t common lost-and-found fodder, which is perhaps why this wholesome story out of Japan feels so magical. Twitter user Kiyo Yamauchi tweeted a translated summary of a story originally posted by user @mrmehoso11, who did, in fact, turn in an acorn at a mall’s lost-and-found, one that truly had been lost. A mom and daughter were waiting in the office, hoping that someone, somewhere might find a loose acorn worthy of a trip to the lost and found.
In a follow-up tweet, Yamauchi wrote that the original tweet and story were so popular in Japan that the mother DM’d him to tell him her daughter couldn’t stop gushing about him. She even declared she wanted to marry him for returning her trusty acorn. “The original tweeter says it was his first time he got a marriage proposal,” Yamauchi wrote.
Moral of the story: Acorns aren’t trash.

I really needed a story like this today….
Would have been better if a 8 foot tall grey troll was at lost in found looking for it
i’m so jaded, i don’t believe a word of this.
Dunno if it’s being jaded or just that it has a major ‘urban legend’ type vibe.Regardless, you’re not the only one who isn’t exactly buying it.
I lost an acorn about a hundred years ago. I went back to look for it but some asshole had planted a tree in the same spot.
It was me. You know what you did, and now you know the debt is paid.
