One day, on the road the couple found a wallet with 2,500 dollars in it - a sum of money the poor family badly needed. The husband suggested, however, that the money be handed over to the police station. And the wife agreed after a "wavering second."
Soon the wallet was claimed by the loser. According to the conventional practice in the United States, the owner of the wallet should the wallet owner left the police station without giving a cent. The police felt very disappointed and regretful, and therefore informed the press of the whole story which then became publicly known through newspaper and TV reports.

Owing to the energy crisis and sky-high prices, some Americans, at least, are beginning to pay attention to small savings that were regarded as unimportant only yesterday. This new spirit of frugality is most remarkable in direct efforts to conserve gas and other fuels. People prefer high-mileage cars, and drivers have begun to develop the habit of cutting off the engine during long waits. Quite a few Americans have taken to walking or biking on shorter trips, and not just for the exercise.
The new spirit is seen in other aspects of daily life, too. More people are having meatless meals. Some are raising vegetables for reasons other than taste.
Families are also turning to secondhand markets for things they need. Thick quilts are replacing electric blankets in some bedrooms. In certain areas people are taking more shoes to shops for repair, and repair stores are doing a good business.
Such spirit can be seen all over the country.
