I worked for a short time as a waiter at a
a few months ago. I also helped to clean up the tables when it was very
. One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet
the floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out
was the owner, but I was very busy at the time. And I imagined that
there was something valuable in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour
a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I
him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his
. He asked me if I had opened
, and when I told him “no”. At once he opened it
showed that it had nearly $ 800 in cash. He took out a twenty-dollar bill and
it to me and I was amazed at this.
Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been
if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to
the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it. But it also came into my
that I actually saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than
we could buy with money.
