A pitiful grandson discovered a weird jar buried in the ground while he was raking his late grandmother’s cherished garden. He discovered dozens more, and after following the indications, he came across an unexpected person in the lawyer’s office.
What happens if you disregard the final desires of your deceased elders? And what if they had “hidden” or covertly arranged a startling surprise for you that would only come true if you grant that wish?
Charlie and Kevin Georgetown struggled with this desire. After their grandmother Josephine passed away, they received a letter from her announcing that they would inherit her prized garden. Her key requirement was that they take good care of her garden and make sure it consistently yielded many fruits and vegetables throughout the year.
Charlie, 16, accepted the offer gladly, but his elder brother Kevin, 18, was upset that their grandmother had only left them a little garden and nothing else.
Simply a garden? Kevin snapped. “Who wants to cultivate this useless piece of land. She was about to leave her residence, I thought. Stupid old woman. I despise her.
He heard the sound of glass cracking and said, “Wha-what was that noise?” When he shoveled again, he discovered the source to be the earth.
Charlie, who was stung by his brother’s rage, added, “But Kevin, granny adored this garden, and maybe she wants us to appreciate her last request.”
“My foot, my final request. Why didn’t she bury it with her instead? I’m not smearing this muck on my hands and legs. You loser, suit yourself to your foolish old granny’s wish.
Charlie was struck in the face by the late grandmother Josephine’s letter as the enraged sibling walked away. And don’t beg for money from me, please. Sell those spoiled tomatoes and potatoes, and you’ll be rich!” Kevin made fun of him before rushing out of the garden.
Charlie was angry, but he chose to carry out his late grandmother’s request. He gratefully accepted her offer and offered to come back the next day with gardening equipment to begin.
Charlie rolled up his pant sleeves the next morning and started soaking the plants. He was amazed at how nicely Granny had kept it. Just a little pruning, then I’ll have the bushes moved.
Grandma Josephine specifically requested her grandsons move the rose bushes to new locations in her letter. Charlie reasoned that the damp soil would make his job simple. With all the effort he could summon, he spaded the space surrounding the first rose bush with a shovel.
He heard the sound of glass cracking and said, “Wha-what was that noise?” When he shoveled again, he discovered the source to be the earth.
Charlie seized his tiny hand-held shovel and started working. He found a broken glass jar with a note later and sat back in amazement. “A note? He said, “Is it from grandma?,” and gently removed the letter.
“I appreciate you guys remembering me. I wouldn’t be so mean as to simply give you tomatoes and cucumbers, hehe. the first line, please. You still have 24 more “treasures” to unearth, so don’t stop digging around the rose bushes! Just wanted to make sure you remembered me!
23 additional glass jars were buried in the garden. No way, what? Charlie yelled, then started scouring the area for other rosebushes. In granny Josephine’s garden, he discovered 23 rose plants in 23 distinct locations.
Charlie dug up 22 jars, each filled with cash and coins, while gasping and exhausted. It was sweltering hot and he was exhausted. Charlie, however, dug up the final rose bush and was determined to find the final 24th jar. But to his disappointment, there was no jar.
But she said there are 24 jars here. There were only 23. Where is the final person? He muttered, scanning his surroundings to see if he missed anything.
A muck covered the garden. Charlie was worn out from the long task of replanting all the bushes in their new locations, not to mention the disappointment of not finding the 24th jar.
He told his grandmother he would plant them the following day as he turned to face the sky. “I’ll do it, grandmother, but first I have to locate the final jar. It’s not right here. He asked, marching around the garden looking for hints.
He then recalled his grandmother’s favorite plant, a rosemary bush that was located beneath her bedroom window at the further end of the garden. Granny Josephine adored the scent of the herb and had always wished it were next to her bedroom window so she could smell it.
That must be the case! Charlie exclaimed with excitement. He moved closer to the rosemary bush and started spading it. Hearing the sound of glass clinking confirmed that his intuition was correct. Charlie cautiously removed the container, although he was somewhat surprised. It was hidden with a scroll but contained no money.
The grandson opened the jar out of curiosity and was surprised to discover a document within. It stated that anyone got this document ought to call the number listed in it for more information.
Charlie discovered a phone number that included the name “Alex Johnson” below. The moment he made contact with the individual, he was summoned the following day to the attorney’s office.
Oh well. The youngster must be Mrs. Josephine Parker’s grandson, attorney Alex stated as he gave him a document. “When she informed me that her grandkids would do anything to fulfill her dream, I had my doubts. However, I was taken aback that only one arrived.
It turned out to be the second clause in the late grandmother’s will. It said that the house and a family heirloom will go to the grandson who had the first section of the paperwork.
A shocked Charlie questioned, “A family heirloom?” “She never mentioned it to me,”
With a smile, the attorney handed him a jewelry box. When Charlie opened it and discovered several pieces of pricey jewelry along with a message, he was astounded.
“My mother, my grandparents, and I owned it. You are now the owner of it. I’m hoping you retain it as a reminder of me. Granny Josephine, with love.
Charlie cried happy tears. He was content and thanked his grandmother for everything she had left him, despite the fact that he had to wait until he turned 18 before he could receive the inheritance.
Charlie legally inherited his late granny’s home and property two years later, on his 18th birthday. After graduating from college, he moved in and renovated the house with the $22K he had inherited.
Kevin, his older brother, made every effort over these two years to take over the family business and eliminate Kevin. But his evil efforts were in vain, and all he received was regret for not carrying out his late granny’s wish.
Charlie persisted in putting a lot of effort into the garden of gran Jospehine. Nearby, he acquired more acreage, where he raised exotic fruits and flowers. In the end, he began shipping fresh garden vegetables to neighboring states and developed into a budding entrepreneur.
Charlie, a young man who was formerly impoverished, suddenly possessed several acres of farmland and a luxurious home in the city. The poor grandson remained to treasure his late grandmother’s wish despite his newfound wealth. Additionally, he saw to it that her garden flourished all year long with lovely blooms, abundant fruits, and delicious vegetables!
