Sometimes a little good fortune is headed your way. All you have to do is have some awareness and the integrity to do what’s right.
This video story posted by Wonderbot shares the tale of a 40-year-old man who was down on his luck and found an abandoned bag left in public. Once he discovered what was inside it, he did everything he could to get it back to its rightful owner.
Peter had lost everything five years before after a catastrophic hurricane washed away his home and all his belongings. Since then, he had taken refuge in an old vacant trailer and ate leftovers from a nearby pizza place.
One day, when he was on his way to get some food from the local eatery, he stumbled upon the lost bag. Peter decided to open it to see what was inside and soon found himself looking at piles of cash beyond his wildest dreams.
Like anyone else, he started to imagine how all of this cash could completely change his life. He wasn’t sure how much money was in the bag, but he was pretty sure that it looked like enough to buy himself a modest-sized home.

Peter opened the bag a little further and found a photograph inside of a young boy who looked familiar. He couldn’t quite place him at first, but he soon realized that he had seen this little boy at his local park with an older woman.
Without thinking, Peter grabbed the bag and hurried to the park to see if he could find them to return the bag.
Shortly after he arrived at the park, Peter spotted an older woman holding hands with a young boy. When he went up to them to hand her back the bag, she was shocked.
