Li Jiacheng and a Coin 李嘉誠和一枚硬幣.

字號(hào):

Once while trying to reach his car key, Li Jiacheng dropped a two-dollar coin, which rolled under the car. He figured that when the car started the coin would fall int o the gutter, so he squatted down in an attempt to pick it up. Seeing this, an Indian attendant on duty immediately picked it up for him. Having retrieved his coin, Li Jiacheng surprisingly gave the attendant 100 dollars as a reward. His explanation for such a big reward was : “If the attendant hadn’t picked up the coin, it would have rolled into the gutter and the two dollars would have disappeared from the world. When I gave 100 dollars to the attendant, he could spend it for some useful purpose. I think money should be used, not wasted.
