HONESTY, THE JAPANESE WAY

Sometimes back an Indian made a trip to Japan in connection with some business matters. During the stay in Japan, one day he travelled in a city bus there. After getting down from the bus at the destination he noticed that he lost his purse. He immediately asked a Japanese person found close by that where could he find the nearby police station. That man asked him why he is looking for the police station. Our friend told him that he was from India and he lost his purse in the bus. The Japanese then asked him whether his address or local contact could be found in the purse . He told him that he was staying in a hotel and the card of the hotel is available in the purse. The man said. "Nothing to worry. By the time you reach the hotel, the purse would be available there."

 Our man reached the hotel after sometime and told the story of the missing purse to the receptionist. He then picked the purse and gave him. He found that nothing was lost from the purse.

Someone who found the purse in the bus came to the hotel immediately and gave it there. Honesty, the Japanes way!
