The incident with the 13-year-old student in Skopelos, who found a wallet with 1,000 euros on the street and, without a second thought, handed it over to the police is touching.
As soon as the 13-year-old saw the wallet, he was confused, while the first thing he thought was that someone needs the money. As he tells ALPHA, he never once thought about keeping it.
The young man, with a sense of responsibility and understanding, immediately thought that the owner might be in real need of the money. “If any child is in my position, hand them over to the police, because the person who lost them might need them,” he stated with disarming honesty, adding that in this case the owner was in a wheelchair.
“If any child finds himself in my position, hand him over to the police because this person may need them. Like in my position where the owner of the wallet was in a wheelchair,” said the student. For his good deed he won the praise of the teachers, who honored him with praise.
The owner of the wallet, upon receiving it, wanted to contact the student immediately and thanked him.
