Ray’s wedding (婚礼) was successful. Everyone seemed to have had a good time. All evening, no one looked after the gift table. Who would steal anything, Ray thought. But his best friend Aaron didn’t think so. He walked away regularly from other guests to check on the gift table, making sure no one suspicious (可疑的) was hanging around it.

Ray and Julia went on a three-week honeymoon right after the wedding. When they got back, they opened all the gifts and sent out thank you notes. But there was one problem. A married couple, Walt and Marry, had given nothing. This surprised Julia. Ray didn’t care if they hadn’t given a gift. He just needed to know whether to send a thank you note. Ray called Aaron.

Aaron asked Ray if he had looked everywhere for Walt’s gift. Had he called up the wedding site to see if anything had been left behind? Ray said that he had looked everywhere and made a lot of calls that were fruitless.

Ray didn’t know what to do. “What would you do?” Ray asked Aaron. Aaron said he would call Walt up and tell him the problem. “You can’t go wrong with simply being honest,” Aaron said.

Ray called Walt and told him the problem. Walt said that yes, he had given an envelope with $500 cash (现金) in it.

“$500?!” Ray said in surprise. “That’s a lot of cash, Walt!” Walt admitted that it was, but he had gotten a fat raise early that year and Ray’s wedding was the only one he’d been to in quite a while. Ray thanked him and also apologized, Walt told him that it was “only money.”

When Ray told Aaron about Walt’s gift, Aaron laughed. “The only thief at the wedding was Walt! I have already stopped playing cards with him because I caught him cheating. And it was only a $10 pot (赌注总额)! I’m sure I told you about that.”

“Yes, you did tell me,” Ray said. But, of course, he had to send Walt a thank you note anyway.
