The Honest Man
One day, a man namely Dinesh was walking by the road to the nearby
market. Suddenly he saw something lying on the road. When he picked it up, he
saw that it was a purse. The purse contained five thousand rupees and an
address card inside it. But he was not interested in having the money for
himself. He found out the owner’s house and returned him the purse. The owner
was happy at getting back the money and astonished at the man’s honesty. He
offered the man a thousand rupees for his help. But the man denied the offer
saying that he had just done his duty.
