On a sunny Saturday, Jay and his friends Mike and Tony went to ride their bikes on a trail (小路). While they were sitting in a tree to take a break, Jay saw something shiny on the ________. “What's that?” he pointed it out and asked Mike and Tony.

They all jumped off the tree and went to take a closer look. They couldn’t believe what they saw — a gold money clip holding five hundred dollars.

Mike immediately shouted, “Wonderful! We can ________ the money.”

“I agree,” said Tony. “Jay saw the money. To be ________, he should get more than us. He should get three hundred dollars, and we should each get one hundred dollars.”

But Jay said, “We can’t keep the money. It isn’t ours.”

“________ being so honest,” complained Tony.

“The owner should learn a lesson about walking around with that much money anyway,” added Mike.

“Let’s go home and think about this, and meet here after dinner,” said Jay.

Mike and Tony agreed. Jay kept the money and left alone. Mike and Tony rode home together. The more they talked, they came to see Jay’s ________. They also thought about how upset they would be if they lost something important.

When the three boys met again, they decided to go to the police station to turn in the money. The police officer admired them for their _______.

The next afternoon, Jay received a call asking him to go to the police station. When he got there, he learned that the money clip had been claimed (认领) and the owner wanted to _______the people who turned it in by giving one hundred dollars.

When Jay told Mike and Tony what happened, they thought about their first reactions to the money and realized that it is far better not to be a ________. And they never expected a reward, so it was a happy ending for all.
