Darling, who hadn't meant to be
quite that generous to the man on the street, explained to Kansas City, Mo.'s
KCTV that "my rings were bothering me, so I put them in my coin
purse."
Darling said she didn't realize
what she'd done until the next day.
"I was so incredibly upset
because, more than just the value of the ring, it had sentimental value,"
she said.
Needless to say, Darling returned
to the scene the next day.
Harris told the station,
"The ring was so big that I knew if it was real, it was expensive."
He recalled, "She squatted
down and says, ‘Do you remember me?' And I was like, ‘I don't know. I see a lot
of faces.' She says, ‘I might have gave you something very valuable.' I said,
‘Was it a ring?' And she says, ‘Yeah.' And I said, ‘Well, I have it.'"
Harris added that he wasn’t the
type to cash in on someone’s misfortune. "My grandfather was a reverend.
He raised me from the time I was 6 months old and thank the good Lord, it's a
blessing, but I do still have some character," he said.
Darling gratefully told the TV
station, "It seemed like a miracle. I thought for sure there was no way I
would get it back.”
Harris did not go empty-handed:
He again received a donation of money from Darling—this time all the bills she
had in her wallet.
