He was at a loss, thought for a while and did not know what to do. Then he remembered about his rickshaw journey. However, he quickly returned to the rickshaw stand and started looking for the rickshaw. He also talked to the other rickshaw divers present there but they could not give him any information. He was thinking about all the things kept in his purse and thought that he had lost everything. Suddenly he got a call on his mobile. The driver came to the rickshaw stand and handed over the purse to the man. Then the man was charmed at the driver’s honesty and thanked him. He also thought that such honesty must be rewarded and gave the driver two gold coins.
