Honesty Rewarded

An old newspaper collector obtained 10 Kilograms of paper from a house at Horana and paid the household at the rate of Rs.10 per kilo amounting to Rs.100. The lady’s husband has kept the money between newspapers for safety purposes, which the wife did not know.
 The newspaper collector took the old newspapers home and separated it one by one. While doing so, he found sixty currency notes of Rs.5000 totalling to Rs, 300,000.
When the newspaper collector realized the money should have been kept for safety purposes, he took the money and went back to the residence, where he bought the old newspapers.
There he saw the husband was telling the wife how he kept the money within newspapers and blamed her for selling the old newspapers without telling him. Surprisingly, the newspaper collector returned all Rs.300, 000 cash intact to the legal owner. The legal owner in turn has gifted him with Rs.40, 000.
Honesty is the best policy in life.
