Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten,and ,as is conventional, I wished her every success ,But part of me didn’t.

I climbed into the attic, As my eyes adjusted to the dark , I saw a metal container, I opened the lid and was shocked by what I saw: several rolls of money tied up in orange string , I’ve found , like ＄800, Awesome!
But there was more than one box of money , I found another seven boxes full to the top, plus two big black bags full of cash, I won’t lie , My first thought was that this was a bleesing from God –the means to fix up this old house; or just to uxe to make life easier for our rwo young sons , who sere seven and four ,But I knew that the right thing was to return the money to the previous owners . So I called them and asked them to come.
They were shocked, of course, not only about the money but that I was returning it , They had recently got the house from their dad and said it must have been their dad who, had hidden the money, What made him do it?
