A man finds a wallet with $700 inside.<\/p>\n
A few days later, he sees a notice from a rich man who lost his wallet and is offering a $50 reward to whoever returns it.<\/p>\n
The man finds the owner and hands back the wallet.
\nThe rich man counts the money and says, \u201cI see you\u2019ve already taken your reward.\u201d<\/p>\n
The poor man is confused and asks, \u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n
The rich man replies, \u201cThis wallet had $750 in it when I lost it.\u201d<\/p>\n
They start arguing and eventually go to court to settle the issue. Both men share their sides of the story, with the rich man finishing by saying, \u201cYour Honor, I hope you believe me.\u201d<\/p>\n
The elderly judge says, \u201cOf course.\u201d The rich man smiles, and the poor man feels hopeless. Then, the judge takes the wallet from the rich man and gives it to the poor man who found it.
\nThe rich man angrily asks, \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n
The judge replies, \u201cYou are an honest man, and if you say your wallet had $750 in it, I believe you.<\/p>\n
But if the man who found this wallet was dishonest, he wouldn\u2019t have returned it at all.<\/p>\n
So, this must be someone else\u2019s wallet. If the real owner comes forward, they can claim the money. Otherwise, it stays with the person who found it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The rich man asks, \u201cWhat about my money?\u201d
\nThe judge says, \u201cWe\u2019ll have to wait until someone finds your wallet with $750 in it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
