HONG KONG-Nine out of ten Singapore citizens returned dropped wallets with

money in them, but in Hong Kong only three out of 10 wallets were returned in an

honesty test carried out in Asian cities by Readers Digest.

Larger cities did worse while in general people in smaller places returned secretly planted wallets, results from the experiment showed. Readers Digest secretly

scattered 140 wallets allover Asia, each with a name, address and phone number, family pictures, notes and money in it.

The magazine workers then watched to see what happened. South Koreans in Seoul returned six out of the ten dropped wallets, while those in Inchon returned eight. 50 per cent of the dropped wallets were returned in Bombay, Bangkok, Taipei and Kajang in

Malaysia, with most people saying they would not keep what was not rightfully

theirs. Honesty had little relation to wealth or status(地位), as several well-dressed people in a number of cities were observed to walk away without doing anything to get in touch with the rightful owners.

About 57 per cent of the wallets were returned, compared with 28 per cent in

Europe in a similar experiment and 67 per cent in the United States.

Dear Earthmen,

I have enjoyed my stay on your interesting unusual planet. I think I understand the life on earth now and I would like to give you my impressions.

First of all you live in boxes. Every morning you leave your big boxes and get into smaller boxes on wheels. All these small boxes race around and around, and finally stop to rest. You then leave these boxes on wheels and go to very large tall boxes.

After testing all days you get back in your little boxes and return to your big boxes. There you sit and stare at tiny glowing boxes with moving pictures on the front.

Only one thing puzzles me. One day, I went to a football game. A bunch of angry boys fought over a little round ball. Everyone yelled for them to stop but they kept on fighting. They were angry, I suppose, about being cooped up(被关起来)in boxes all day.

Thank you earthmen for this chance to get to know you.

Gratefully,

The man from the Mars(火星)
