I worked for a short time as a cashier (出纳员) at a restaurant a few months ago. I also helped to clean
up the tables when it was very busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the
floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy
at the time. And I imagined that if there was something valuable in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure
enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him to
describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his thanks when
I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him "no", at once he opened it and showed
that it had nearly $800 in cash (现金). He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed
at this."A reward (酬劳) for your honesty, young girl." he said and then turned and walked away.
Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was
in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it.
But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone's Christmas plans by finding and returning the
wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy.
