Perform a random act of kindness that makes as many people happy as it possibly can. Here’s how.
What I should do:
Hand the book to the store owner and tell him or her: “Hey, here’s 500 bucks inside this book, do you know who they belong to?”
But the way I know my used-bookstore-owners, they’d just get greedy and pocket the money themselves.
Here’s a better idea that’ll make not just one, but six people happy.
What I would do:
Take out all of the bills but one, walk to the four corners of the bookstore and put one $100 note into a random book in each corner.
Now 5 people can find random books with $100 in them and have a really happy day, plus I’ll be happy because I know 5 others will be 🙂
