The Found Wallet: A Lesson in Values
One sunny afternoon Alex found a wallet in the school parking lot. It was loaded with cash! Excited and confused, Alex shared the find with his friends, Mia, Jake, and Lily. Mia, who valued practicality, suggested, 'Keep the money, Alex. You can buy that video game you've been wanting!' Jake, who was a bit greedy, agreed with Mia. But Lily, who was known for her honesty, disagreed. 'Alex,' she said, 'You should return the wallet. It's the right thing to do.' Alex thought deeply about his friends' advice.
