Patrick Johnson, an artist for the
Washington Post, found some treasure in his new house-35, 000 dollars in a
place where no one could see it. Although he had car and house payments in his
head, he still decided to return all of the money to the previous(先前的)owner of the house, Mr Williams. Would you had done the same?
Just hours after he had bought the house, Patrick
came into the small house, where he was planning to lay out his tools and hang
things up. He looked up and saw a little hole in the wall. He didn't know what
it was inside, so he walked towards the wall. It was very dark inside, but an
old box caught his eye." I caught the thing. It was heavy. I thought it
might be some pieces of wood, "he said. Actually it was not. It was filled
with lots of dollar bills. But he and his wife knew they had to return the
money to Mr Williams.
"I've got two boys and we teach them
to be honest and to do what is right. I knew this was a teachable moment that I
would never get back again, "Patrick said to his wife." So I thought
we would do something honest with it. It's been a great thing for us and our
kids."
