A Big Reward
Sam, a ten-year-old boy from Brazil, finds a wallet full of money on his way to school. Faced with the moral dilemma of keeping it or finding the owner, Sam encounters various obstacles and must decide what honesty truly means to him.
It was a bright sunny morning in Brazil when Sam found a wallet lying on the sidewalk. Curious, he picked it up and peeked inside, only to find a thick stack of money. Sam's heart raced with excitement. " - What should I do with this?" Sam wondered aloud. He knew keeping it wasn't right, but the money could buy him the new soccer shoes he had always wanted. The problem was, what would his parents say if they found out he kept something that wasn't his?
Sam decided to look for the owner of the wallet. He asked around the neighborhood if anyone had lost it. " - Have you seen anyone searching for a wallet?" Sam asked the shopkeeper. Unfortunately, no one had any idea. Sam felt a wave of frustration as he realized how difficult it would be to find the owner. Would he ever find them?
Days passed, and Sam's search seemed hopeless. A friend, João, saw the wallet and said, " - Just keep it! No one will know." The temptation was strong, but Sam hesitated. He remembered his father's words about being honest and doing the right thing. " - But what if the person really needs it?" Sam replied. This made him even more determined to find the rightful owner.
After many days of searching, Sam felt defeated. He sat on a bench, staring at the wallet, thinking about giving up. " - Maybe João is right," he sighed. But deep down, Sam knew he couldn't just keep it. It didn't sit well with him. He closed his eyes, hoping for a sign of what to do next.
Just then, an old man sat next to him, noticing Sam's troubled expression. " - You seem lost in thought, young man," the man said kindly. Sam explained his situation, and the man smiled gently. " - Perhaps the address inside the wallet could help," the man suggested. Sam hadn't noticed the small card tucked in a hidden pocket. It was a breakthrough!
With renewed hope, Sam followed the address and found a small house. A worried-looking woman answered the door, and Sam handed her the wallet. Her face lit up with relief. " - Thank you so much! This means everything to me," she said, tearing up. Sam felt a warmth in his heart, knowing he had done the right thing. Honesty really was its own reward.
