Connor Halsa is 14 years old. One day, he was on a fishing trip with his family. He caught something unexpected: a wallet. When he looked inside, he was even more surprised. It was not empty. It was holding some personal things and some money.
“I thought I had a big fish,” the boy said. “My cousin Brandon opened the wallet and said there was money in it. He showed everyone and then we took the money out and placed it all on the car to let it dry off.” As it turned out, there were 2,000 dollars in the wallet. Connor and his father both agreed to try to find the owner and return the money.
Thankfully, there was also a business card with the owner’s name on it: Jim Denney, a farmer from Iowa. He’d been fishing on the same lake last year when the wallet fell out without him noticing. He had to return to his hotel without a penny on him. That made him feel very terrible. “That was the worst feeling I’ve ever had,” he said.
Jim was shocked. He was very thankful when Connor and his family contacted him. He never imagined he’d see that wallet again. When he got his wallet, he tried to give the boy some money. However. The boy didn’t take it. “We didn’t really work hard for the money,” he said. This touched Jim even more. He took the family out to dinner. “I would take Connor for a grandson any day and I would fight for him any day,” the farmer said.
