Uma Vida Diferente
Symom, a 14-year-old in Korea, faces a dilemma when he finds a lost wallet with a significant amount of money. As he grapples with the decision of returning it or keeping it, Symom encounters several obstacles that test his honesty and character.
Symom was walking home from school when he stumbled upon a lost wallet. Inside was a considerable sum of money and a note with an address. He knew that returning it was the right thing to do, but the temptation to keep it was overwhelming. " - What if I just keep it?" Symom thought, feeling the weight of the decision. His conscience battled with the desire for new sneakers he'd been eyeing.
As Symom pondered over the wallet, his friend Jin approached. " - Hey, what's that?" Jin asked curiously. Symom hesitated, " - It's a wallet I found... with a lot of money." Jin grinned, " - Lucky you! You should just keep it!" This first obstacle made Symom question his values, feeling torn between his honesty and the easy way out.
Symom decided to head to the address on the note, but the path was not easy. His bike got a flat tire halfway there, forcing him to walk. " - Maybe this is a sign to turn back," he muttered to himself. Then, it started to rain, drenching him and the wallet. " - Why does it have to be so hard?" Symom complained, feeling defeated and considering giving up.
Symom sat on a bench, soaked and frustrated, contemplating giving up. He thought about all the things he could buy with the money, and it was tempting. " - No one would ever know," he reasoned. But deep down, he felt uneasy, knowing it wasn't right. " - Why can't I just forget about it?" he sighed, feeling the weight of his decision.
As Symom sat there, an old man approached and offered him an umbrella. " - You look troubled, son," the man said kindly. Symom explained his dilemma, and the man shared a story of honesty from his own youth. " - Doing the right thing might be hard, but it brings peace," the man advised. Inspired, Symom realized the true value of honesty.
With renewed determination, Symom reached the address and returned the wallet to its owner, an elderly woman. " - Thank you, young man! I was worried sick," she said with relief. Symom felt a sense of pride and happiness that money couldn't buy. " - I'm glad I did the right thing," he thought with a smile. His journey taught him the true power of honesty.
