Erik Dopman and his
6-year-old son Jasper were walking near a school on April 18th. Jasper noticed a black bag on the ground, and Erik opened it to investigate. The bag contained
large amounts of cash and
some deposit slips. Erik called the local
Arlington, Massachusetts police and
turned it in.
The bag and its cash belonged to a small
family-owned Mexican restaurant. An
employee who was supposed to deposit the money reported it missing.
Police returned the money to the grateful restaurant owners.

Erik and Jasper were both
recognized for doing what's right. They were given
Outstanding Citizen awards by their local community and
gifts from the Mexican food company.
No doubt, Jasper will remember the lesson - doing what's right won't make you rich in the eyes of the world. The richness it brings is far more fulfilling.
