MYSTERIOS STRANGER

My name is Oliver and I live in a small beach town. The town is famous for its huge fishing nets and many tourists come to see the nets every year.
One day I saw a boy. He really did look like a tourist, with a small camera in one hand and a bottle of water in the other. The slim boy sat on the bench by the tree, sipping water and pretending to look at a glossy cruise brochure. His thick glasses masked his eyes, but I knew he wasn’t looking at the brochure. He hadn’t turned a page for the last ten minutes.
As I walked up to him to say hi, he looked at me briefly and pretended that his parents were calling him and walked away. I tried not to stare at the tiny scar just above his left eyebrow. I walked back to where I was sitting under the tree shaking my head. He looked familiar, but I couldn’t quite place him.
Then it hit me. The bicycle accident. The mysterious stranger who helped me get up and park my bicycle on the side of the road. I rushed back to the bench but he was gone. I sat on the bench and saw the water bottle along with a card left on the bench. The card said:
I am deeply indebted to you. The evening of your bicycle accident, I was looking for my parents as I had lost them in the crowd. Helping you made me stay in the same spot for sometime and because of that my parents spotted me. We are going back to our home today. Hope you are better now. Thank you. Rajan.
I felt glad that my little accident brought a family together again. I said a silent prayer for him and got back home, smiling.

But, the scar was above the eyebrow, basically on the forehead, more accurately, the temple. Can the answer please be explained, for I cannot understand where I'm going wrong.Thanks.
