Instead of Old One He Owns – Story of the Day

When a destitute elderly guy leaves his house one morning and discovers his old sports car has been replaced with a brand-new one, he is pleasantly surprised for the charity he shown to a stranger.

Gregory Smith, at the age of eighty, stood in disbelief on his front porch. He glanced from the envelope in his hands to the gleaming sports car parked outside his home, hardly able to believe his eyes. After pinching himself twice to confirm he wasn’t imagining it, he called out for his wife, Cynthia, still trying to grasp the reality of the moment.

“Christine! Cynthia! Come here, now!” he shouted, his voice trembling with anxiety. His hands shook as he stared at the shiny new car, realizing his old one had disappeared. The fear of the situation weighed heavily on him as he called for help.

“What’s the matter with you, Gregory?” With a pout, Cynthia came out of the interior, patting her hands dry with a towel. “You are the reason I burned the pancake! We were down to our last packet of pancake mix, in case you were unaware! You are just standing here, then? When do you intend to visit the supermarket?”

What lessons may we draw from this tale?

Good deeds are always returned. Gregory gave Jack his plane ticket so he could see his expectant wife, and in return, Jack showed him and Cynthia an unimaginable amount of love and respect. Jack took care of their most basic needs and treated them like sons.

Whenever and however you can, provide a helping hand to someone. Gregory offered Jack his ticket so that he could assist him, which he did. He and his spouse received the blessing of a son they never had in exchange.
