Wow, what a true display of character. A bag full of money and they don't take a single cent. If you found a bag full of money do you think it would be easy for you to turn it over to the authorities without any guaranteed any reward? I think all of us would know the right thing to do but choosing to do it without a second thought? These boys easily could have took the money and run, but they didn't and for that I applaud them.

Norwegian Teens Show True Character
It's not always easy to do the right thing, but for two teens in Norway their decision was apparently very easy. Last Wednesday two teens from Norway found 467,200 kroner ($81,500) left in a bag on a train by an elderly passenger. Bendik (16), one of the teens, said, "When I opened the bag, the first thing I saw were these wads and wads of bills." "My first thought was to call the police." The boys were able to find the owner's passport also in the bag so that he could be identified when the contacted authorities.

These kids did do the right thing by not taking a single bill from that stash of money. I would like to say I would do the same thing, but I am not entirely sure I would. Anyways, who leaves a bag stuffed with $81,500 in cash in a train station in the first place? It just doesn't seem like that would be something someone would forget about. Those were the first thoughts that popped into my head when I read the story. I would like to hear a little more about this elderly man who left enough money that could pay for a Porsche.
