Yesterday The Blaze<\/a> posted an article about three students in New York<\/a> who purchased a couch<\/a> from the Salvation Army<\/a> for their apartment. The couch was not particularly attractive, but it fit the space in their apartment.<\/p>\n

As they were trying out the couch, they found a plastic envelope of money<\/a> under one arm. At that point they began searching the couch.<\/p>\n

The article reports what happened next:<\/p>\n

After twenty minutes, the trio had uncovered $40,000 in cash. On one of those envelopes contained a woman\u2019s name.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a lot of moral discussions about the money,\u201d Russo told the Rebellion<\/a>. \u201cWe all agreed that we had to bring the money back to whoever it belonged to\u2026 it\u2019s their money\u2013 we didn\u2019t earn it. However, there were a lot of gray areas we had to consider.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

After each of the students spoke with their parents, they decided to attempt to reach the woman named on the envelope. Werkhoven\u2019s mom found her number in a phone book and the group gave her a call. She answered.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOh, I left a lot of money in that couch,\u201d the unidentified woman said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The story continues:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we handed the money back to the woman, she told us that she felt like her husband was present in the room with us,\u201d Guasti told the Rebellion<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The woman told the Rebellion<\/a> that her husband gave her money each week before he passed away and she had hidden it inside the couch. However, when she had an operation on her back and was away for several months, her daughter sold the couch and replaced it with a full-size bed, following a doctor\u2019s advice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are a few lessons to be learned from this story. The first is don’t sell your mother’s couch without asking. The second is that there are honest people in the world.<\/p>\n
