While clearing his late grandmother’s garden, a poor boy came across a mysterious container hidden underground. After discovering a number of others, he followed the clues to an unexpected meeting at a law office.
What happens when you neglect the last wishes of your deceased elders? And what if, “only if” you fulfill this wish, they carefully planned or “buried” a shocking surprise for you?
Charlie and Kevin, two brothers from Georgetown, were undecided about their dream. After their grandmother Josephine died, they received her last letter in which she bequeathed her precious garden to them. Her primary need was for her garden to be well cared for and to ensure that it produced a bountiful harvest of fruits and vegetables throughout the year.
sixteen-year-old Charlie graciously accepted the gift, but his 18-year-old older brother Kevin was upset that his grandmother only left them a small garden.
“Just the garden?” Kevin lost it. “Who wants to farm this useless piece of land? I assumed she’d leave us her home. The old fool! I hate her.”
“What was that noise?” he asked, hearing the sound of glass breaking. When he threw the shovel again, he found that the source was the ground.
Saddened by his brother’s rage, Charlie commented, “But Kevin, Grandma loved this garden and maybe she wants us to fulfill her last wish.”
“One last request, foot. Why didn’t you take it with you to the afterlife? I refuse to get my hands and feet dirty in this mud. Loser, please grant your foolish grandmother’s wish.”
Kevin turned to leave and tossed a letter from his late grandmother Josephine in Charlie’s direction. Also, avoid begging me for money. Selling those rotting tomatoes and potatoes will make you a fortune!” Kevin hurried out of the garden as he made fun of him.
Charlie was angry but decided to fulfill his late grandmother’s wishes. He was more than happy to accept her offer and said he would come the next day with gardening tools to get things going.
Charlie rolled up his sleeves and started watering the garden the next morning. “Grandma took such good care of it,” he said. “Just prune and I’ll start replanting the bushes.”
In her letter, the grandmother specifically requested that her grandchildren move the rose bushes to different locations. Charlie believed the wet dirt would make his job easier.
Using all the strength he could muster, he tore at the ground around the first rose bush.
“What was that noise?” he asked, hearing the sound of glass breaking. When he threw the shovel again, he found that the source was the ground.
Charlie picked up his little hand shovel and started digging. Moments later, a broken glass container containing a letter was discovered and he collapsed in shock. “Message?
“Is that from grandma?” he said as he carefully pulled out the letter.
“I appreciate that the boys haven’t forgotten me. I wouldn’t be so heartless as to give you nothing but cucumbers and tomatoes!” Go over the starting line. “You have a total of 24 ‘treasures’ left to uncover, so keep digging around the rose bushes! I just wanted to make sure you remember me.”
“Are there 23 more glass jars hidden in the yard? How could that be? Charlie cheered and began looking around for more rose bushes. He discovered 23 rose plants in 23 separate places in the garden.”
Out of breath and exhausted, Charlie dug out 22 jars, all of which were filled with money and coins. Even though he was exhausted and the heat was unbearable, he was determined to find the last jar and dig up the last rose bush. To his dismay, there was no glass.
He muttered, scanning the area to see if he had missed anything, “Where’s the last one?”
The garden was a mess. Charlie was tired after a long day of transplanting all the plants to their new places, except he couldn’t even find the 24th jar.
The young boy looked up to the heavens and assured his grandmother that he would plant them the next day. “Grandma, I swear to you, but first I have to find the last glass. It’s not here. “Where is it?” he asked, pacing the garden looking for answers.
He suddenly remembered his grandmother’s favorite plant, the rosemary bush outside her bedroom window at the other end of the garden. Grandma Josefina loved the smell of the herb and always wished it was by her bedroom window so she could inhale its scent.
“This has to be it!” Charlie shouted happily. He moved to where the rosemary bush was and dug a hole.
The sound of clinking glass confirmed his instincts.
Charlie was a little surprised as he carefully took out the glass. It was hidden with a scroll but contained no money.
When the inquisitive grandson opened the jar, he discovered a document. It said that in order to get more information, the owner of this paper must call the given number.
Charlie came across a phone number that said “Alex Johnson”. After contacting the person in question, he was summoned to the law office the next day.
“Oh, you must be Mrs. Josephine Parker’s grandson,” Alex remarked, handing the boy the document. When she told me that her grandchildren would stop at nothing to make her dream come true, I had my doubts. However, I am shocked that only one person arrived.”
It turned out to be the second half of my late grandmother’s will.
As a result, the house and family inheritance would pass to the grandson who had the first part of the document.
Charlie asked looking shocked, “A family heirloom?” “She never told me about it.
The lawyer handed him the jewelry box with a smile. Charlie was taken aback when he opened it and saw a ring with stones and some expensive jewelry along with a note.
It was mine, my mother’s, and my grandmother’s. Now it’s yours to own. I hope you save it as a memento. Gracie Josephine, with love.”
Charlie started crying happily. He was thrilled and thanked his grandmother for everything she had left him, even though he would have to wait another two years until he turned eighteen to claim his inheritance.
Two years later, on his eighteenth birthday, Charlie became the rightful heir to his late grandmother’s house and inheritance. After graduating from college, he used the $22,000 he inherited to renovate the house and move in.
During these two years, Charlie’s older brother Kevin made every effort to seize the family inheritance and exclude Charlie. However, his evil deeds turned out to be in vain, and he received only disappointment for not fulfilling the wishes of his late grandmother.
Meanwhile, Charlie continued his diligent work in Grandma Jospehine’s garden.
He planted exotic flowers and fruits on another piece of land he bought nearby. Eventually, he started shipping fresh vegetables from his garden to neighboring states and developed into an ambitious businessman.
Previously abandoned, Charlie now owned a luxury house in the city as well as several acres of farmland.
The humble grandson never hesitated to fulfill his late grandmother’s wishes, even with his newfound wealth. He also made sure that her garden was always full of beautiful flowers, delicious fruits, and nutritious vegetables all year round!
In closing, the story of Charlie and Kevin’s legacy from their late grandmother Josephine is a poignant reminder of the importance of honoring the last wishes of our departed loved ones. While Kevin initially scoffs at the garden’s seemingly modest gift, Charlie’s unwavering determination to fulfill his grandmother’s request leads to the discovery of a number of hidden treasures buried in the garden’s soil. Through persistence and determination, Charlie not only discovered a valuable monetary asset but also discovered a deeper connection to his grandmother’s legacy and a sense of fulfillment in honoring her memory. In the end, Charlie’s devotion to his grandmother’s wishes not only led to his rightful inheritance but also changed his life, transforming him from a struggling youth into a successful businessman and homeowner. His story serves as a testament to the enduring power of family bonds and the rewards that come from respecting the wishes of those who came before us.
