If you’ve ever gone fishing, you are all too aware of how much patience is frequently required. <\/p>\n

When you know something has taken your bait, long periods of waiting in stillness are broken by unexpected bursts of exhilaration.<\/p>\n

It’s definitely not for everyone, but I can speak from personal experience about the gratification that comes with successfully landing the fish you’ve been attempting to catch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So I can only image the level of curiosity one Minnesotan adolescent felt when he reeled in a wallet with a respectable sum of money.<\/p>\n

Connor Halsa, according to accounts, was fishing in Lake of the Woods in Minnesota when he felt a tug on his pole and immediately thought he had hooked a large fish.<\/p>\n

But when Connor brought his line in, he saw that it wasn’t a fish after all, but rather a wallet.
\nThe 14-year-old claimed, \u2018My cousin opened the wallet, <\/p>\n

and he said some words you probably shouldn’t say, and he showed everyone,\u2019 in an interview with WDAY-TV.<\/p>\n

It turns out that the wallet wasn’t merely an old thing that someone had thrown away since they no longer needed it. No, a business card and $2,000 were present.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, I don’t believe it’s a leap to argue that many kids out there would have kept the money for themselves at this point. Who would, after all, know?<\/p>\n

But Connor is made of a different material. After consulting with his father, he decided that calling the <\/p>\n

number on the business card in an effort to reconnect the wallet with its owner was the proper course of action.<\/p>\n

The money was his because he worked hard for it rather than us, according to Connor.<\/p>\n

The wallet belonged to Jim Denny, an Iowan farmer who claimed to have lost it a year earlier while out fishing.<\/p>\n

To meet Connor and his family, Jim flew to Moorhead, Minnesota. He offered to pay Connor for helping him retrieve his lost wallet, but the adolescent turned him down.<\/p>\n

Instead, Jim fashioned Connor a personalized cooler. The farmer responded, \u2018I have the billfold in my hands, and it is still hard to believe.<\/p>\n
