        My head would say "keep it" but I always listen to my heart, and that would say "do the right thing". If I'm given too much change, I give it back.

        When I was about 11 or 12 I found a ladies purse with lots of notes in it (about £100 I think but it sure seemed a hell of a lot of money to me). It was just before Christmas and it was left on the loo roll dispenser in the ladies loo. I waited for about 20 minutes hoping she would return, and she did. I was so glad I went to the effort as she had two little children with her and was in tears when I returned it. She didn't do a collection for my honesty though The "thank you" was reward enough.
        If happy little bluebirds fly, beyond the rainbow, why, oh why can't I?
