Three children who returned a purse containing 10,000 baht to a Plutaluang nurse were rewarded for their honesty with scholarships and awards from their school.
Supanida Chairat, 8, Korakot Arun, 6, and Chonthicha Khempet, 7, found the money on Dongtan Beach March 22. They gave the bag to relative Charoen Ngernsutthi, a captain in the Royal Thai Navy, who contacted its owner, Tasanee Pha-Indee, 26, a nurse at Ekachon Hospital 2 in Chonburi.
Tasanee said she’d taken her children to the beach and realized after leaving she’d forgotten her purse.
Supanida Chairat, 8, Korakot Arun, 6, and Chonthicha Khempet, 7, return the lost purse to Tasanee Pha-Indee.
She was given a chance to show her appreciation March 23 at a ceremony at Supanida’s Thammasirisuksa School in Sattahip. There the honest children were given certificates and rewarded with an undisclosed amount in scholarships from the thankful nurse.
Tasanee said she never expected such young children to return the money and thanked their parents for instilling honesty and morals in their offspring.
School Principal Aree Kamnungkit praised the kids for giving the school a good reputation and rewarded them with certificates honoring their good deed and setting a good example for others.
