He looks around to see if someone had lost the money or if there was something going on he wasn't aware of, then looks toward the sky as if to thank God for his good fortune.

#7 He Decided To Pay It Forward

30 minutes later the man returns to the bench and sits beside Johal, explaining that he had gone back to Target and returned his purchases, then he hands Johal the money he had found earlier, explaining that 'you need it more than I do right now. I'll get by, I always do."

#8 Inspiring

Shocked, the outcome was not what Johal had expected when he set out to see what someone would do with newfound money. He explains his 'experiment' to the honest and good-hearted homeless man and then gives him $500.00 for his good will. The man begins to cry and the two men exchange hugs. The two men bonded, and Johal's experiment taught him something he wasn't expecting. He was both amazed and inspired.
