The teacher found the owner’s address and called him to the school. The owner was very happy to get his wallet back. He thanked Rohan for his honesty and offered him a reward. Rohan politely refused and said, “I only did the right thing.”
The teacher and all the students praised Rohan. Everyone learned that being honest is more valuable than money.
