One day in March of 1993,John and Amanda and their 10-year-old son Jason shopped for a toy in New York Street. Suddenly, John found a wallet on the ground. He found there was 200 dollars in it. Though they were very poor, they took the wallet to the police station and gave it to the police. In fact, there were other pockets in the wallet and there was more than 2,000 dollars in it. The police called the owner of the wallet to get it back. The man thanked John and shook his hands, but did not reward (酬谢) him. Luckily for the family, a TV reporter reported the story. People from all over the world heard the story and sent them letters and money. A rich man even let them live in his house for free for six months. They got the best wishes from the world. |
