Emily Acton and the Lost Ring Bring Honest Reward
Emily Acton finds a lost gold ring with initials J S and returns it to the shop. The generous stranger who owned the ring offers five dollars, which she initially declines, saying she did her duty. The man later hires Emily for sewing tasks, rewarding her honesty as she continues to support her mother and pursue virtue.
