答案:A
B
We bought our new house that afternoon,and I was in the workshop of the garage.I noticed a part of a carpet sticking out of the ceiling of an attic(阁楼)that was strange.I found a ladder and headed up.
I climbed into a space above the workshop that was walled off from the rest of the attic.As my eyes adjusted to the dark,I saw a metal container.I opened the lid and was shocked by what I saw:several rolls of money tied up in orange string.Holy cow,I thought,I’ve found,like $800.Awesome!
But there was more than one box of money.I found another seven boxes full to the top,plus two big black bags full of cash.I won’t lie.My first thought was that this was a blessing from God—the means to fix up this rundown house;to adopt a child,something we’d talked so long about doing;or just to use to make life easier for our two young sons,who were seven and four.But I knew as soon as I had those fantasies that the right thing was to return the money to the previous owners.So I called them and asked them to drop by.
They were shocked,of course,not only about the money but that I was returning it.They had recently got the house from their dad and said it must have been their dad who had hidden the money.What made him do it?I thought about the hundreds of times he had gone to his shop,cut off a length of orange string,and bound up a roll of money.I like to think he did it for his children.
