Rich Man Throws $100k in Dumpster to Find Honest Person, Sees Homeless Lady Pick Up the Money — Story of the Day

Edward Lewis decided to conduct a test to recruit a good employee for his new organization and tossed a bag containing $100,000 into the dumpster. The person who discovered the bag was an elderly, homeless woman. Would she return the money to its rightful owner or keep it to herself? Edward wondered as he silently saw the woman pick the bag and walk away.

Emma’s eyes glowed for a brief while at the sight of so much cash. She could live a pleasant life if she just took it with her, but her conscience told her that it wasn’t right, so she was determined to track down its original owner and return it.

Emma took the bag and went straight to Mrs. Cassandra Bernard, the director of a homeless charitable organization, to inform her...
