Which detail from the text best supports the inference that Daniel will do the right thing? Money a one-act play CHARACTERS: DAN
IEL, a 17-year-old boy MARK, a 17-year-old boy MICHELLE, a teenage girl who's just gotten her license MRS. NASH, a store manager MR. FRANKLIN, a man who has lost his wallet Setting: Daniel, wearing a supermarket apron over his clothes, walks quickly around the parking lot of a supermarket, collecting empty grocery carts and nesting them together. A car pulls up near him and parks. A girl named Michelle steps out of the car. MICHELL: Hi, Daniel. DANIEL: Hi, Michelle. When did you get your driver's license? MICHELL: Last week. Now I run all the errands for my family. My mom just sent me here to pick up some milk. DANIEL: That's what I'll be doing—all the family errands—as soon as I get my car. (Daniel looks down and spots something. He picks up a brown leather wallet. His back is to Michelle. He opens the wallet and sees that it holds three 100-dollar bills, as well as a number of credit cards.) MICHELL: What did you find? DANIEL: It's somebody's wallet. MICHELL: What are you going to do with it? DANIEL: You know, when I first picked it up and saw that it had $300 in it, I had a bad thought. I thought about not saying anything to anyone and keeping the wallet and the money. The money would put me over the top so I could buy my car. Nobody would have known if I hadn't told you. MICHELL: You would have known. DANIEL: That's right, and I decided not to delude myself. Keeping things that don't belong to me is not the way I was raised. I'll take the wallet inside to the customer service desk. The manager can get the owner's information from the driver's license that is in here.
Based on the information given, the inference will be "Keeping things that don't belong to me is not the way I was raised. I'll take the wallet inside to the customer service desk".

mercy brings its reward and that there is no being so small that it cannot help a greater. Later English versions reinforce this by having the mouse promise to return the lion's favor, to its skeptical amusement.
