This is a true story that happened in England.
There was a lonely old man who had no children and was weak and ill. He decided to move into a nursing home. The old man announced the sale of his beautiful house. Buyers flocked in upon hearing the news. The base price of the house was £80,000, but it quickly shot up to £100,000. The price kept climbing.
The old man sat deeply in his sofa, eyes full of sorrow. Yes, if it weren’t for his poor health, he would never have sold the house that had accompanied him for most of his life.
A modestly dressed young man approached the old man, bent down, and whispered, “Sir, I also want to buy this house, but I only have £10,000. However, if you sell the house to me, I promise you can continue living here.
We can drink tea together, read the newspaper, go for walks, and be happy every day—believe me, I will take care of you with all my heart!”
The old man nodded and smiled, selling the house to him for £10,000.
Insight: Sometimes, the true value of things isn’t measured in money but in the kindness and love we offer to one another. True happiness and fulfillment often come from the heart and the connections we make with others.
