Frankie Burns, 8, is being praised for being honest when he located a wallet that contained $1,700 near Cortlandt Park East in New York City over the weekend. Frankie then told his father he found a wallet that had the huge amount of money. His dad then saw the name of the person who lost his wallet by his identification card and then the father and son went to contact the man who lost his wallet with the money. The man who lost the money claimed that he was beaten up by thugs. The thugs did not see the wallet after their victim was beaten up. The victim of the beating then was taken to the hospital to be patched up by the medical staff at the hospital. The beating victim said the money to pay his rent, So he rewarded Frankie for his honesty by paying him $100 dollars. Frankie insisted that no time he had intentions of stealing the money he found since he was taught by his father that the person who lost his money earned it by working.

That is true since there are some young boys and girls that are trying to do the right thing in spreading love and kindness.

@TheInvisibleMan Me too since most people would have taken the wallet and spent the money of themselves.

The child admitted that he had no intention of stealing any of the money he found. Now that is a nice kid.

The parents should feel proud of their boy and about their brought up. A good couple deserving honor. Let us all make a big clap for the couple.

I saw this story Yahoo. A big money number always gets headlines.
