Poor Man Repairs His Old House after Neighbors’ Mockery and Finds a Hidden Room – Story of the Day

Chuck became an orphan and was left only with an old house. Right before he decided to sell it, he found a hidden room that changed everything.

Chuck Harris and his parents lived in the oldest house in his neighborhood. The house was spacious but precarious. Chuck’s dad never wanted to sell or build a new one because “It’s part of our family,” as he said.

I mean, you spend so much time and money trying to fix this house but doesn’t it make more sense to just move to a new place?” The boy continued, “Besides, the other kids would stop mocking me…”

“Listen, Chuck,” replied the man, “don’t listen to what other people have to say. They have their lives, and we have ours. We all have problems, and this house means so much to our family. If someone disrespects you, tell them to mind their business.”

“Also, when you grow up, I’d like you to keep this house and continue to pass it on to your kids, alright?” Chuck nodded his head in agreement. He knew his father was a stubborn old man, but he had a good heart. So Chuck kept his promise.

When he turned 22, his father died in a car accident. His mother could only hold the pain for so long. Few months after his father passed away, his mother developed heart disease. Something that would kill her six months...
