Harry’s grandmother had one last wish before she died: to rebuild the old house that her husband had made for her. Harry was set on doing what she asked, even though he was having money problems. He was motivated by love, respect, and a strong bond with his family. What he learnt on this important task would change his life forever.
Harry’s grandmother had a happy and lavish life, but when she died, she didn’t leave her grandchildren a lot of money like they had hoped. She instead left behind the old family home, which stood for all the love and memories that had been there. Walter, Harry’s brother, was upset and angry that he wasn’t getting any of the money directly, but Harry saw the house as a way to honour his grandma and keep the family’s traditions alive.
Harry had a small income and a family to take care of, so the choice to rebuild the house was a big one. He didn’t let the problems stop him, though. To start the job, he scraped together his funds and borrowed money from a close friend. As Harry worked hard to rebuild the house, he found a secret cellar buried under the overgrown garden.
Harry found a box made of wood and a letter from his grandfather in the cellar. The letter had a moving message thanking Harry for making his grandmother’s wish come true and keeping the family’s memories alive. There were picture books, jewellery, and family keepsakes in the box. Each item told a story of love and laughter.
But there was still one more big surprise. The letter also told them to go see the family lawyer, who told them a shocking secret: Harry’s grandfather had left behind a bank account with $300,000 in it, which was meant for Harry if he did what his grandma wanted. Harry felt so lucky that he decided to give $100,000 to charity and use the rest of the money to pay off his bills, finish rebuilding his house, and start a small business.
Harry’s choice to rebuild the house gave him more than just money. It also gave him a sense of purpose and a link to his family’s history. He knew he had made the right choice as he moved his family into the beautifully fixed up house. The house was full of love and history, and it always reminded him of his grandparents.
Harry’s story shows how important love, family, and being thankful are in the end. Harry had a lot of memories, lessons, and chances that he would never forget because he had carried out his grandmother’s last wish.
