    A call came into Jimmy Gilleece's bar this past March. A newly married woman who had spent the afternoon at the dive (潜水) beach bar in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, couldn't find her wallet. She didn't care about her ID, credit cards, or $150—but her wedding ring was inside it.

    Gilleece, 42, the boss of the bar, didn't like the idea that there was a thief at his place. So he set out to find the wallet. He spent hours looking for the footage(录像) from 16 different cameras, watching the woman's every step in the bar. Finally, a young man caught his eyes. He picked up something from the place where the woman stood and put it in his pocket.

    Gilleece posted the picture on the bar's Facebook and asked if anybody knew who the guy was. Within hours, 17-year-old Rivers Prather came and said he had taken the wallet and told Gilleece he'd done it because he hadn't eaten for two days. He said he saw the ring but thought it was not real, so he took the money, and threw the wallet into the ocean. Then he bought a sandwich.

    Prather wasn't getting along with his family and lived in the woods for weeks. Gilleece saw him for what he was: more of a kid than a thief. Gilleece wanted to help him somehow. He found two local divers, to search the waters where Prather threw the wallet. After waiting for hours worriedly but luckily, a diver came out from the water with the wallet in his hand, and inside was the ring.

    "Most people would give the footage to police, but the boss chose to help me," Prather told CBS News. "I say thank you to him every day."

    Brother Bear and Sister Bear know quite a lot about Bear Country. They know where the best honey trees are. They know the best places to see a rainbow (彩虹). But they don't know much about money. When they get some money, they run quickly to the Bear Country Mall and spend it. Sometimes, Sister puts her money in her piggy bank. But she usually spends it just a moment later. Brother doesn't even have a piggy bank!

    One day, Brother and Sister go to the mall. They see a new video game. It looks exciting. They run home to ask Papa to buy it. Papa gets angry. He shouts, "Video game! At the mall! You must think money grows on trees!" "You must make your money! Life is about working, making money and saving (存钱) for a rainy day!" Now Brother and Sister know how serious (严重的) it is. They begin to think about making money.

    In fact, Brother and Sister are very good at making money. They sell flowers by the side of the road. They sell strawberries door to door. They take visitors to see the most beautiful rainbow. They take care of pets for neighbours. Sister's piggy bank is full. Brother has to borrow Mama's sugar bowl to keep all his money.

    "I think that's enough. Look at them!" says Papa. "Yes. In the past, they didn't care about money. But now they care too much about it," says Mama. "Come here, children." says Papa. "Are you going to spend all your money?" "Yes!" Brother and Sister say together. "That's not good," says Mama. "You should spend only some of the money on useful things. And put some money there for a rainy day."

    Brother and Sister ask, "Where do we put our money?" "I think the Bear Country Bank is a good place, says Mama. "Good," says Papa. "The money can be your nest egg (存款)." That day the Bear family goes to the bank and opens an account (帐户) for Brother and Sister.
