在拉米·泽尼从学校开车回家时,他在路中间发现了一个黑色的钱包。
Rhami Zeini was driving home from school when he spotted a black purse in the middle of the road.
随后,这位16岁的加州圣巴巴拉高中二年级学生打开了钱包,发现了他有生以来见过的最大的一笔巨款:1万美元。
The 16-year-old Santa Barbara, California, high school junior opened it -- and discovered more money that he'd ever seen in his life: $10,000.
由于找不到失主的电话号码,拉米将此事告诉了他的父母。随后他们开车将他送到了圣巴巴拉县警长办公室。
Unable to find the owner's phone number, Rhami told his parents. They drove him to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office.
在该警局中,一名值班的警官找到了失主并把钱还给了他。
There, a watch officer was able to locate the owner and return the money.
拉米向美国有线电视新闻网透露:“我认为这是正确的做法。”
"To me, I figured this is the right thing to do," Zeini told CNN.
“如果角色互换了,我丢了这么一大笔钱,我肯定会想要回来的。”
"If the roles were reversed and I had lost something with a significant sum of money inside, I know I would want it back for sure."
钱包的主人非常感激,给了拉米100美元作为报答。她认为是自己把钱包放在自家车顶上,结果忘记拿下来就直接开车离开了。
The purse's owner was so grateful that she gave Rhami $100. She believes she left the purse on the roof of her car when she drove away.
