- Dan takes the wallet to return it to the owner.
The warm autumn day inspired Dan and Chris to take a walk along the river. Soon after they started, Chris spotted a small black object among the wet yellow maple and scarlet sumac leaves. As they approached the pile of leaves, they discovered the object was a wallet.
"Someone must have dropped it when he was walking down here," Chris said as he reached into the leaves.
Both men studied the wallet in Chris's hands. It was wet from last night's rain, but they could still read a business card from Speedy Plumbing in the front pocket. There were several of these cards, along with two credit cards, a family picture and a driver's license. When they opened the long pocket in the wallet, they discovered close to one hundred dollars in cash.
"It looks like this guy lives in Toronto and works for Speedy Plumbing," said Dan, examining the driver's license and business cards.
"Well, I think that we just found ourselves some extra cash," Chris said, counting the bills.
"l didn't think that you, of all people, would consider keeping cash that doesn't belong to you," Dan said, grabbing back the wallet and the cash.
Chris became defensive and argued, "If we didn't take it, then someone else would. It isn't like we're going to use his credit cards or anything."
Dan was puzzled by his friend's reasoning. He imagined losing his wallet and how thankful he would be if someone called him to let him know that it had been found with everything still in it.
Chris was irritated with Dan for worrying so much. "Just take the cash and send the guy his wallet," Chris snapped. "That way we get a little bonus for finding it and the guy doesn't have to worry about his credit cards."
When Dan put the wallet in his back pocket and started walking away, Chris followed, telling Dan to stop and think it over. Dan ignored Chris and kept walking until he found a phone. Then he called the owner of the wallet.
