00:01Today's story is about a young man named Rahul and how a single decision changed not only his day, but his life.
00:12Let's begin.
00:14It was a warm Saturday afternoon.
00:17The streets were crowded and the local market was full of people.
00:22I need to buy vegetables and some snacks for the weekend.
00:26I hope the prices are not too high today.
00:31Hello, Rahul. What do you want today?
00:35Hi, I'll take a kilo of tomatoes, half a kilo of onions, and some bananas, please.
00:43Coming right up.
00:45As Rahul was putting the groceries into his bag, he noticed something on the ground.
00:52It was a wallet.
00:55Hmm.
00:56Someone must have dropped this.
00:59It looks expensive.
01:01Let me check if there's an ID card inside.
01:05He opened the wallet and found several band notes, a credit card, and an ID card.
01:13Name Mr. A. Gianmera.
01:16Address, Green Park Lane.
01:19Oh, that's not far from here.
01:21I could leave it with the police.
01:24I could leave it with the police.
01:25Or maybe return it myself?
01:29Rahul thought for a moment.
01:31Many people might just keep the money, but he believed in doing the right thing.
01:37I should return this.
01:39If I lost my wallet, I'd be very worried too.
01:43He looked up the address on his phone and walked towards Green Park Lane.
01:49I hope someone is home.
01:52I hope someone is home.
01:52Yes.
01:52How can I help you?
01:56Hi.
01:57Are you Mr. A. Gianmera?
02:00Yes, I am.
02:02Who are you?
02:04I found your wallet in the market.
02:07I believe it belongs to you.
02:10Oh my god.
02:13I didn't even realize I had dropped it.
02:16It had your ID card, so I came here directly.
02:20That's incredibly honest of you.
02:23Please, come in.
02:25Have some tea.
02:27No, thank you.
02:29I just wanted to return it.
02:32Please wait.
02:33At least take a small reward for your honesty.
02:38No, sir.
02:39I don't need a reward.
02:41I just did what I thought was right.
02:44Mr. A. Mera was very impressed by Rahul's character.
02:47Tell me, Rahul, what do you do?
02:52I'm a final year student.
02:54I also do part-time work at a bookstore.
02:58Interesting.
03:00I own a publishing company.
03:02We're always looking for honest and responsible young people.
03:06Would you be interested in a job?
03:10A job?
03:11Really?
03:13Yes.
03:14Let's meet on Monday and talk more.
03:17Honesty like yours is rare these days.
03:21Thank you, sir.
03:23I would be very happy to.
03:26Rahul returned home feeling proud.
03:29His small act of honesty had turned into a big opportunity.
03:35I'm glad I did the right thing.
03:36In life, we often face choices, easy ones and difficult ones.
03:44Rahul chose honesty over selfishness.
03:47And because of that, life rewarded him in an unexpected way.
03:52Honesty is not just a virtue.
03:56It's a way of life.
03:57What would you have done if you found a lost wallet?
