In the process of cleaning some clutter, a homemaker from Hanumangarh district in Rajasthan unknowingly handed away Rs 1 lakh to scrap dealers, without realizing that the cash was tucked between the leafs of one of the books she gave away.
It is incorrect to not consider the ‘goodness of human mind’ as an instinct and recurrent characteristic of man’s behavior and aforesaid scrap dealer displayed the virtue by returning the fortune to its rightful owner.
Goodness in men need not be restored, it has been always there.
According to a report in the Hindustan Times, the homemaker – Shanti Bhadu sold old books and newspapers to a scrap dealer for ₹5 per kilo.
The dealers who purchased the books and newspapers from her her found the cash hidden inside one of the books and decided to return it since it didn’t belong to them.
“We couldn’t sleep the whole night. We collect scrap from so many houses, but how could we figure out where the cash had come from,” HTquoted the scrap dealer.
Though the dealers initially did not have any idea as whom the cash belonged, they leafed through the books to find a name which they later retraced to the Bhadu family.
