Life is full of Challenges, despite being hardworking. (Part 2)

Thank you my friends for reading the first part of this story. If you haven't read it, you can click here to read, it was amusing. Let's continue.....

John carried the bag containing the money, held it tight to his hand, and stood. His standing couldn't help his thinking faculty, as his head was full with different thoughts, so he had to roll his eyes around maybe there would be a place void of people where he could seat comfortably to check the money very well.

Fortunately for John, a Tree whose leafs spread like the canopy was not far from him, he went there, and sat on one of the outshoot roots of them Tree. There he was, thinking if the money could be original or fake. To be sure, he had to reopen the bag again, but this time it was gently and stylishly he was opening the bag.

He dipped his right hand into it, and drew out a piece of the money to test if it was original or fake. ( He had the ability of testing the authenticity of bank notes). As he was doing this, he was also checking around to be assured that no one was hiding somewhere watching him.

As he tested the texture, and found out they weren't fake, an expression of Joy filled his face. Gladly said he had found what would change his life.

In this mood he was, when an inner voice thundered in his mind: are you the owner of this money?

In John's conscience, the answer was "NO".

Another inner voice came, and encourage him to continue to rejoice and told him never to think of returning the money to the owner, this was how it came :

"John, never think of returning it to the owner oh, please remember how you have suffered in life. You know that you don't have a job at the moment, and also you have Bills to pay. Your house Bill is there to pay your landlord, if you make this money yours, you will be able to settle every money you owe, and also set up business for yourself. But if you return this money you might remain poor for the rest of your life.

On receiving this, John seemed to be agreeing with the this inner voice that just spoke. Not too long. The first inner voice came again, speaking:

John, remember you're a person of God, remember the covenant you made with God that you would always be righteous, and will never convert what is not your own to yours, no matter what the situation is.

This time, John became confused, he didn't know which to obey, if he obey the first inner voice, he would pay off all his bills and have funds to set up a business for himself. And if he obey the second inner voice he would have a conscience void of offence before God.

So, these he was thinking on, when he began to hear the sounds of someone walking towards his direction. John quickly zip up the bag, picked it up, and moved away from the environment, he went home straight.

On getting home, he didn't tell his wife anything about it. His wife was even asking him to gist her about how his outing was, but in all the gists, he never mentioned anything about the money he found.

Though he was smiling physically, but inside him, he remained perplexed about the cash he had in his custody!

This continued the whole day, night came, another day showed up, finally he decided to return the money to the owner.

In the bag, there was a small card which contained some phone numbers, he called one of the numbers, the person that picked was a man, John began to ask some smart and intelligent questions to be sure if the person truly lost his bag, fortuitously, every question asked encountered the correct answers from the man. This made John well assured that the money wouldn't go to the wrong hand, same day, they made arrangement on how to meet.

He CEO whose money was returned employed John, but didn't want him to remain an employee, he wanted to help him further, after a few years, having seen John's hardworking and trustworthiness, and having asked John about his Life dream and aspiration, he decided to helped John achieve his life dream of becoming a owner of industries. Now John has 20 branches of his industries in different states of the country, at such young age. The man was also planning to help John spread the tentacles of his industries beyond the boundaries of the country. He was funding him, at the same time mentoring him.
