Wasted Day

Wasted Day

by Richard Harding Davis

This is a delightful little story about the most successful banker on Wall Street, who finds his philanthropic side when one of his former employees is arrested and needs someone to vouch for his character. The banker is initially reluctant to help, but he eventually comes to realize that the employee is a good man who has made a mistake. The banker's act of kindness not only helps the employee, but it also changes the banker's own life. He learns the importance of empathy and compassion, and he begins to see the world in a new light.
