Homeless and struggling, Mark and his daughter find a wallet full of cash. Despite their need, Mark chooses to return it, hoping to teach his daughter about kindness. Yet, upon reaching the owner’s house, he begins to doubt his decision.Mark and his eight-year-old daughter, Lolita, strolled through the city streets towards the park. The homeless shelter they called home had provided their lunch.But Mark’s mind raced with worries about their future. Lolita, however, skipped alongside him, her face alight with the simple joy of being with her father.As they walked, Lolita’s sharp eyes spotted something at the sidewalk’s edge. “Dad! Look what I found!” she exclaimed,

dashing towards a black wallet half-buried in the grass.Inside, they found the owner’s ID, which had the owner’s address, credit cards, and a substantial amount of cash.Lolita’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “We could buy apples, noodles, even ice cream!” she chirped.Mark, however, felt the weight of morality. “We aren’t going to keep it,” he said firmly. “It doesn’t belong to us. We wouldn’t want someone to be sad about losing their wallet, would we?””But, father—””Lolita, the money isn’t ours. The right thing is to return it,” Mark interrupted gently, and the poor man and his daughter set off to the wallet owner’s address.They arrived in a wealthy neighborhood, where their shabby appearance attracted unwelcome stares. Approaching a well-kept house,

Mark second-guessed his decision.The owner seemed to be a wealthy individual, and he probably wouldn’t miss the few bills in his wallet. But Mark pushed the thought away, focusing on teaching Lolita the value of honesty.Lolita knocked on the polished white door, and it creaked open.Mark braced himself, unsure of the reception they would receive. Jane, the homeowner’s daughter, greeted them with suspicion and disdain.”What do you want?”
