the other day, i was at the store geting some groceries for my mum. anyways, i was in the tissue isle, and i noticed an old couple talking about napkins or something...
as i was leaving, i slipped and almost fell. i looked to see what it was i slipped on, and it was a wallet. i looked inside, and i remembered the face in the drivers license...it was the guy with his wife from earlier. so, i went racing towards the checkout, knowing that they prolly couldnt pay for the stuff without money. i found them at the end of a checkout line...
i came up to the guy, and said "i think you dropped your wallet, mister".
he patted his pocket, and said "oh, my, i did!"
i handed him his wallet.
the guy and his wife stood there, thanking me profusely. i smiled, said your welcome, and turned to leave.
the old guy touched my shoulder. i turn around. he has a bill in his hand. i tell him i dont want it, all i did was do what was right. he insisted. i kept telling him i didnt want it...he took my hand, put the bill in my palm, and left.
i was left standing there with a $50.
i felt funny taking all that money, when i did what was right....
