One Good Turn Deserves Another

(Ben is sleeping under the bridge in a very busy city with his two brothers. They are homeless and beg for alms for a living. It is a rainy day and Cynthia, a University student, who is the daughter of a business mogul misplaced her purse)

Ben to a passerby

Good afternoon sir, can I talk to you for a minute?

Passerby

I'm all ears.

Ben

I'd love to use your phone for a phone call, please? It's very important and I'd appreciate if you can do this favour for me (He pleads)

Passerby

I'm actually in a hurry but I'd spare you some of my time and this is because of the fact that you are polite in your approach (He asserted)

Ben

(He stretches out his hand to collect the passerby's phone) Thank you very much sir.

(Ben brings out a card from a purse from his pocket as he dials a number.)

Ben

Hi, am I speaking to Miss Cynthia?

Cynthia

Yes, please? Who is this?

Ben

I'm Ben. I got your number from a purse that I saw under the bridge two days ago after the heavy downpour. You can come back to the bridge and I would hand over your purse to you.

Cynthia

(surprised) Really? You called to return my purse? Wow!!! (still dazed) Did you see any money inside?

Ben

Yes, I saw a lot of money in the purse and everything is intact. You may come anytime tomorrow, I'd be under the bridge.

Cynthia

Wow! This is still surprising. So, there are still good people in this country? I'd see you tomorrow.

(Ben returns the passerby's phone and appreciate him for his kind gesture)

The next day. Ben meets Cynthia. Location: under the bridge

Cynthia

It's nice to know someone like you still exist. This act of sincerity of yours is commendable. Even with your condition, you still returned a purse full of money. I'd compesate you bountifully.

Ben

All I can say is thank you very much, ma'am.

(Cynthia told her parents about the incident and they enrolled Ben and his brothers in school, opened a bank account for each of them and deposited money for them. Ever since they started living happily.)
