Felix, a single dad, was relaxing at home when he heard a lawnmower. Curious, he went outside and found Mrs. McAllister, his elderly neighbor, struggling to mow her lawn.
Surprised to see her attempting such a task, he offered to help. Mrs. McAllister gratefully accepted, and Felix couldn’t help but wonder why her son, who rarely visited, wasn’t assisting her.
After mowing the lawn, Mrs. McAllister invited Felix inside and offered him a glass of lemonade. She then handed him a mysterious box, insisting he take it as a token of her gratitude. Felix was hesitant but finally accepted it. She also gave him a bag of apples for his daughter, Suzie.
At home, Suzie found papers with codes inside the bag of apples. She believed they were connected to the box, but Felix decided to return it. The next day, he went to Mrs. McAllister’s house, only to find that she had passed away during the night.
Days later, Felix researched the box online and discovered it was a valuable historical artifact worth over $250,000. He felt a mix of joy and fear, unsure whether to keep it. But he remembered that Mrs. McAllister wanted him to have it.
Then, Felix received a call from Tim, Mrs. McAllister’s lawyer, requesting a meeting. At a nearby cafe, Felix met Tim and Mrs. McAllister’s son, Henry, who accused Felix of stealing the box. Henry offered Felix $1,000 to return it, but Felix refused, stating that Mrs. McAllister had given it to him.
The next day, Felix took the box to an auction house. During the evaluation, he was asked for documentation to prove its authenticity and ownership. When he couldn’t provide it, the auction house staff called the police. Felix fled, fearing legal trouble.
That night, Felix decided to search Mrs. McAllister’s house for the missing papers. As he entered through a window, Henry confronted him. Henry revealed he had informed the auction house about the box’s significance and accused Felix of theft. He gave Felix an ultimatum: return the box by 8:00 AM or face the authorities.
Felix, determined to honor Mrs. McAllister’s wish, took the box and fled with his daughter to his mother’s house. He instructed Suzie to sell the box for no less than $100,000 and use the money for her education. Felix then returned home and awaited the police.
Felix was arrested and spent four months in jail, awaiting his court date. To his surprise, his bail was paid by his mother and Suzie. Suzie explained she had found a way to open the box, discovering a note and an award from Mrs. McAllister inside. The note confirmed the box’s importance and Felix’s rightful ownership.
Suzie showed the note to a lawyer and took the box to an antique dealer, securing enough money to pay Felix’s bail and still having $100,000 left. Felix’s act of kindness had brought him an unexpected and life-changing reward.
