The Honest Boy and the Purse | 诚实男孩与钱包

点击查看中英对照

A lady lost her handbag. It was found by an honest little boy and returned to her. Looking inside, she remarked, "Hmm... That's odd. When I lost my bag, there was a $20 bill in it. Now there are twenty $1 bills."

The boy quickly replied, "That's right, ma'am. The last time I found a lady's purse, she didn't have any change for a reward."
