A simple act of honesty — A man in a sharp suit walks confidently through a high-end shopping center. He approaches the information desk where a woman is waiting.
He tells her that a wallet was turned in. She checks it and reveals it contains only one old, faded photograph.
Digging deeper into the mystery — Suspicion hits the man. He heads to a dark, high-tech security room.
He stares intensely at the monitors, watching the footage over and over. He needs to know who left that wallet behind, and he needs to know right now.
The woman from the desk brings him the photo. She says there is a message written on the back.
She reads it aloud, her voice steady. The words, “Never forget kindness,” seem to strike a deep chord within him.
The secret behind the portrait — Later, a red-headed woman enters a quiet coffee shop in the rain.
She walks straight up to the man. She tells him that the wallet belongs to her grandfather.
She tells him he is waiting for him. They visit the elderly man in a hospital bed, where he is breathing with the help of an oxygen mask.
The man thanks him, finally finding closure. The man in the suit returns to the mall and announces a surprise bonus for all his employees.
He realizes that even if kindness doesn’t pay off right away, it eventually finds its way back to you.
