One day, Abba was on his way to school when he saw a brown wallet lying by the roadside. It appears the wallet contains some money. Abba contemplated whether or not to pick the wallet.

He eventually picked the wallet and realized that it contains some hard currency. Abba became happy and worried at the same time.

2

Abba became happy because he found the wallet and money that most have been lost by someone else. He became worried because he wonder how the find the owner and give back the lost but found wallet and money.

As Abba continues his journey, he held the wallet up and pay attention if he could see the owner around. He eventually sited a woman by the opposite side of the road. "It appears that woman is crying" he said to himself.

Abba then put the wallet into his bag and went to meet the woman. "What is wrong and why are you crying", he asked the woman. "I lost my wallet. And the wallet contains all my money", the woman replied.

After interrogating the woman about the color of the wallet and amount it contains, it was obvious to Abba that the woman owns the wallet he found and picked. He quickly brought it out handed it over to the woman.

The woman was overwhelmed with joy. He offered to pay Abba. "No my joy is to see you and hand over what belongs to you. My parents will be proud of me for that, but they will not be, if I collect money from you" said Abba.

Abba continued his journey, feeling very happy and proud of himself. His parents will certainly get feedback from Abba when he returns home. And they will certainly be proud of his honesty.
