I worked for a short time as acashier(出纳员) at arestaurant a few months ago. I also helped to clean up the tables when it wasvery busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black walleton the floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find outwho was the owner, but I was very busy at the time. And I imagined that ifthere was something valuable(有价值的) in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure enough,an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone hadfound a wallet. I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he describedit exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his thanks when I handed it tohim. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “no”. At once heopened it and showed that it had nearly $ 800 in cash(现金). He took out a twenty-dollarbill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. “A reward(酬劳) for your honesty,” he saidand then turned and walked away.
Thinking about it later, I began wonderingwhether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thoughtthat if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to getit, I might keep it. But it also came into my mind that Iactually saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet.The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy.
