The search was turning frantic, but I didn't want anyone to know, if you can picture the scene. The craft man started looking around on the ground after I finally said I dropped money -- didnt say it was a 100 -- and soon the teenager approaching from the other direction had reached me, too.
Amazingly, the teen found the bill -- it was rested on the floor board of the scooter itself, though for the life of me I couldnt figure out how. Had he been a mean kid, he could have just kept it and kept on going, but he was nice. He was wideyed but just handed me the bill.
I said thank you, thank you, thank you, and gave him all my singles as a reward. Had I had a $20, I would have given it to him, cause he deserved it.
What a stand-up young man this guy is. I know it seems like there are too many hustlers in Negril -- and I complain about it as much as anyone -- but there are mostly super-nice peeps everywhere, despite most of them being so poor. I was happy to have my money back, but I was even more happy about the way the whole thing worked out.
