To act with integrity was a habit with Susan who always follows the Golden Rule: "Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you." But when she thought over her past conduct, a blush of shame crept to her cheeks, as many little acts of selfishness and unkindness came back to her memory. She resolved that for the future, both in great things and small, she would remember and follow the Golden Rule.
It was not long after this that an opportunity occurred, which tried Susan's principles. One Saturday evening when she went, as usual, to Mr. Thompson's inn, to receive the money of her mother's washing for him, which amounted to five dollars, she found Mr. Thompson apparently in a terrible rage with some horse dealers with whom he had been bargaining. He held in his hand an open pocketbook (钱袋子) , full of bills and scarcely noticing Susan as she made her request, except to swear at her for troubling him when he was busy, he handed her a banknote.
Glad to escape so easily, Susan hurried out of the gate. Pausing to put the money safely in her purse, she discovered that he had given her two bills instead of one. She looked around; nobody was near and her first impulse was joy at the unexpected prize.
"It is all mine," said she to herself. "I will buy my mother a new coat with it, and she can give her old one to my sister Mary, and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter. I wonder if I can buy a pair of shoes for my brother Tom, too."
At that moment she remembered that he must have given it to her by mistake. But again the voice of the tempter whispered, "He gave it, and how do you know that he did not intend to make you a present of it? Keep it! He will never know it, for he had too many such bills in that great pocketbook."
