An Honest Schoolboy: One day, a little school boy found
Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, a noble-minded student by the name of Robin, belonging to the ninth grade, came across a purse or moneybag whilst on his way to school. As he looked around, he realized that there was no one nearby who could be the owner of the lost item. Upon picking up the purse/moneybag, Robin was astounded to find that it contained a sizable sum of money. However, instead of taking advantage of this opportunity, Robin decided to uphold his virtues of honesty and responsibility and return the money to its rightful owner.
Despite the fact that Robin's class was about to commence, he chose to prioritize returning the money over his own education. As a result, he took the purse/moneybag to the headmaster of his school and informed him about his discovery. The headmaster, who was thoroughly impressed with Robin's ethical conduct, accompanied him to the local police camp to hand over the money.
Upon reaching the police station, they met an old man who was conversing with the in-charge. After inspecting the contents of the purse, the old man claimed that it belonged to him, and that he had lost it on his way. The in-charge returned the purse to its rightful owner, who was overjoyed and grateful to Robin for his virtuous actions. The old man, wishing to reward the student for his noble deed, offered him a gift in return. However, Robin politely refused, stating that he was content in doing the right thing and that the old man's happiness was reward enough. Robin further humbly requested the old man's blessings so that he could continue to uphold his duties and responsibilities with integrity and rectitude.
Moral of the Story: The honest never expect any reward or return for their good work.
