What is your reaction when you read a newspaper article about an auto driver returning bag full of money left back in his auto to its owner? Yeah, even I thought ' too good to be true'. But I experienced a similar situation yesterday.
I was wearing a gold bracelet with a small dangling pendant. Was soaking the clothes for the maid, dumping all the dirty vessels in a bowl and giving it to maid and so on. I did not realize when that dangling pendant fell and where. Me with long sight and very careless ways would not have realized it missing for months together.
Maid who was washing the clothes called me and showed the pendant, saying it had fallen from the bucket to ground. I was dumb stuck at her honesty. She knows about my carelessness and she could have really pocketed it herself and I would have never guessed it.
We keep saying and thinking that people have become very selfish and money-minded or out right bad. And we expect the lower income group people to be dishonest and unkind. But how wrong we are!!
