[00:10.18]How did Sam get his money back? [00:14.70]The whole village soon learnt that a large sum of money had been lost. [00:21.01]Sam Benton, the local butcher, [00:24.33]had lost his wallet while taking his savings to the post office. [00:30.29]Sam was sure that the wallet must have been found by one of the villagers, [00:36.74]but it was not returned to him. [00:40.43]Three months passed, and then one morning, Sam found his wallet outside his front door. [00:49.07]It had been wrapped up in newspaper and it contained half the money he had lost, [00:56.09]together with a note which said: [00:59.06]'A thief, yes, but only 50 per cent a thief!' [01:05.13]Two months later, [01:06.81]some more money was sent to Sam with another note: [01:12.12]'Only 25 per cent a thief now!' [01:16.32]In time, all Sam's money was paid back in this way. [01:22.34]The last note said: 'I am 100 per cent honest now!'
