A video has surfaced online of a homeless man returning a wallet to a man after he dropped it to the floor on a busy street in New York. The man in question was Waqas Shah who was conducting a social experiment to see how the homeless man would react. Little did he realize that the man would teach him more than he bargained for.
After returning the wallet the homeless man points to the place where it was dropped and hands it over with all the contents still intact, much to Shah’s surprise. When asked why he gave him back his wallet, the homeless man answers honestly, “Giving back is what you do. I don’t steal.” To show his appreciation of the man’s honesty, Shah gives him a reward before leaving, obviously moved by what had just happened.
