A Guy Discovers a Wallet With $700. A Few Days Later

A man discovers a wallet containing $700. Several days later, he encounters a note stating that a wealthy individual has lost their wallet, offering a $50 reward for its return.

Upon locating the owner and returning the wallet, the wealthy individual accuses him of already taking his reward, insinuating that the wallet originally held $750. Disputes escalate, leading them to seek resolution in court.

Presenting their arguments, the poor man goes first, followed by the wealthy individual who concludes with an appeal to the judge’s trust. The judge acknowledges the trust but then astutely decides in favor of the finder, reasoning that if he were dishonest, he wouldn’t have returned the wallet at all. Thus, the wallet rightfully belongs to its discoverer.

Enraged, the wealthy individual protests, only to be reminded by the judge that the money will await him if his lost wallet, with the purported $750, is found.
