One Dollar

Once upon a time, an old man who owned a bookshop called his son to his bed before dying. He showed his son a box under his bed, inside the box there was one dollar. He said that many years ago, a client overpaid one dollar. Ever since, he had kept the dollar waiting for the client to return so that he could return it to him. But the client never returned, so he asked his son to return it.
However, this story is not true. His father only showed his son that other people's money belonged to others. Many prisoners in prison committed crimes because they took others' money illegally, thus offending the law. Especially many young men carried drugs for easy money. They may have succeeded once or twice, but they were eventually caught.
We are human, and we must earn money honestly and with loyalty. Only by being honest can we live our lives peacefully.
