A man in Utah discovered $45,000 (£28,000) stuffed into tins and boxes in the attic of the new home he had just bought – and gave the money back to the previous owner's six children.
Josh Ferrin was exploring the house he had just bought when he made the discovery.
Along with his wife and children, they spread out thousands of notes on a table, separating the bundles one by one. They stopped counting at $40,000.
Despite being tempted to keep the money to help him pay for mounting bills and broken down car, Mr Ferrin sought out the children of the home's previous owner, who had died, and gave them the money.
"I'm not perfect, and I wish I could say there was never any doubt in my mind. We knew we had to give it back, but it doesn't mean I didn't think about our car in need of repairs, how we would love to adopt a child and aren't able to do that right now, or fix up our outdated house that we just bought," he said. "But the money wasn't ours to keep and I don't believe you get a chance very often to do something radically honest, to do something ridiculously awesome for someone else and that is a lesson I hope to teach to my children."
犹他州盐湖城的一名男子Josh Ferrin前些天买了一幢二手房,举家搬进去之后,他开始审视旧房,在阁楼上,他发现了一堆塞满了钞票的盒子和罐子。
叫来妻子和孩子们后,Ferrin一家开始数钞票,但是钱的数量实在太多,数到4万美元的时候,他们干脆不再数下去。
尽管Ferrin先生的经济状况并不宽裕,房子还没装修、车子也破破烂烂,但犹豫再三之后,他还是决定将这笔飞来横财如数归还。——房子的原主人早已去世,Ferrin找到了他的两名也已经年纪不轻的后代,将钱大包小包地送了过去。
Ferrin表示,他虽然并不是完人,但不是自己的钱毕竟不能乱拿,能碰到这样的机会,唯有尽力诚实友善,才能做好孩子们的榜样。
