Man Finds Wallet with $700 Inside
A man finds a wallet containing $700 and later sees a notice from a wealthy man offering a $50 reward for its return. The finder returns the wallet, but the rich man claims it originally had $750. They argue and take the matter to court. The rich man insists, “I hope you believe me,” and the judge agrees. The judge then takes the wallet from the rich man and gives it to the finder, stating, “If the finder was dishonest, he wouldn’t have returned the wallet at all.” The judge suggests that the wallet must belong to someone else. If the real owner with $750 comes forward, they can claim the money, otherwise, it remains with the finder. The rich man asks about his $750, and the judge replies, “We’ll wait for someone to find your wallet with $750.”
