9. You find a wallet containing $300. By the address, you can tell that the owner is wealthy. Do you keep the money?
This is a tough question, especially because I need some extra money for a equine camp I want to do this summer. I would really want to keep the money, it would be so tempting to just take it...Although I know I wouldn't be able to. I have such a guilty conscious I know that I would never get a good night sleep again if I took someones money. I would be up all night tossing and turing because I would feel so bad. I would never be able to get over the fact that I stole money from someone who worked really hard to get it. Even though the person may be pretty wealthy and 300 dollars probably isn't that much to the owner, they still need to work hard to earn money. Plus I know how I would feel if I lost my wallet with that much money in it. I would be so nervous and upset! I would just hope that someone would return the wallet with the money in it. I believe that you should treat others the way you want to be treated, so I would return the wallet to the person with all of the money in it because thats what I would want someone to do for me.  So no, I would not keep the money.
