Billy Ray Harris was homeless. He spent each day on the streets of Kansas City, asking for money, for food and maybe a 1 for the night. Every day, a she sat thinking about his life, he sometimes 2 the sound of a coin or two dropping into his cup. One day, the sound was 3 than usual. A little later, when he looked into the cup, he was4 to see a shining diamond(钻石)ring inside.
Billy's first 5 was to go straight to a jeweler's(珠宝店)and that's exactly what he did. To his surprise, he was 6 $4, 000. Billy thought long and hard. Was it the right thing to do?Then he 7 his loving grandfather who had always been doing the right thing during his lifetime. He made up his mind to 8 the ring and maybe one day its owner would return to look for it.

Sarah and her husband were really thankful to him 13 they decided to raise money for Billy to help him 14 the streets. Soon Billy got over $200, 000. And thanks to the news report, he got together again 15 his brother who he had been unable to find for 16 years.
All the good luck is just because Billy did the right thing —returning something that did not belong to him.
