SCRUPLES

A neighbor’s six year old child finds $30 on your driveway and gives it to you. No one claims it. Do you give the money to the child?

In this situation I would give the money back to the child. In my opinion giving the child back the money is the right thing to do and the honorable thing to do. I know from past experiences how much money can mean to a little child. When I was little I found $10 dollars on the ground outside our post office. I really wanted to keep it but my dad had me give it to the lady at the post office. The lady told me that if no one claimed the money in a week than I could have it.  For that week I was extremely excited to get the money and every day I would go to the post office and see if anyone had claimed the money yet. Then finally at the end of the week I went to the post office to get my money. I got it and I just remember feeling so amazing. Now I wouldn't really react that much too finding $10 but back then it meant the world to me. That is why I would give the child the money back. Because I know how much little children care about things and it’s always nice to make a little kids day, or even week and give the child a lasting memory like mine.
