The next time you ask your children for help, feel free to tell them this story.
Sometimes doing a service to your parents can pay off a lot. In every sense of the term. In the United States, a 9-year-old from the state of Indiana got his hands on a small treasure hidden in an envelope while he was cleaning the family car, reports the chain of WRTV local television. The contents of the package closed the tidy sum of 5,000 dollars, the equivalent of about 4,000 euros. “I was cleaning my father’s car when I looked under the floor and found an envelope,” said young Landon.
“We dumped the contents of the package on the bed and the money fell”
At first doubtful, the father decides despite everything to pay attention to his son’s find. What he discovers amazes him. “I called my wife and I said to her: ‘You have to see this’. We emptied the contents of the package on the bed and the money fell,” explains Landon’s dad. In addition to the bundles of bills, checks were inside the envelope for. So where does this money that fell from the sky come from? After some research undertaken by the family, they discover that the money belongs to the previous owners of the vehicle.
On their way to Florida for a cruise in 2019, they forgot the package in the car. Too happy to get their money back two years later, the giddy family evidently accepted the gift on one condition: that Landon keep $ 1,000 just for himself.
While waiting to see more clearly on what he will do with his nest egg, the young boy “does not stop thinking” of everything he could buy. Now is the time to go check your car just in case.
