Maybe the lesson is: Do the right and reasonable thing every time. In the first instance, the object was tucked under the neighbors' doormat, so you could reasonably assume that it might belong to them (and checking with them was the right action).
In the second instance (evaluated independently), the bill on the paved ground was on public property. You are reasonably justified in picking it up and seeing if it is authentic (and keeping it or disposing of it in the trash as you wish).
[And what if the first bill was authentic and not fake (and/or was the same bill the whole time)? It doesn't change the scenario. You're still justified in checking with the neighbor about the mysterious object on their property.]

Idk if it’s because I’ve been thinking a lot about abundance lately or because the kid’s answer sounds so smug, but this story pissed me off😆
