I worked for a short time as a cashier(出纳员)at a restaurant a few months ago. 71 One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guess I should have checked it to find out who was the owner, but I was busy at the time. Also, I imagined that if the wallet contained anything valuable, the owner would be back.
An hour later a man came up to the counter(柜台). 72 I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his sincere thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “ No”, he opened it right away and showed that it contained nearly $800 in cash (现金). 73
“A reward for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.
74 I began wondering whether I would have been so honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if there had been no way to find the owner and no one had returned to claim(认领)it, I might have kept it. But it also came into my mind that I had in fact saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. 75 The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything money could buy.
| A.He looked quite worried and asked if anyone had found a wallet. |

E. I wanted to be honest, so I didn’t care much about money.

G. For quite a long time I kept happy whenever I thought about it.
