Poor Pool Cleaner Discovers Secret Door in Old Lady’s Pool, Buys His Own Mansion Next Week – Story of the Day

Will accepts the job of cleaning the pool of an old but expensive mansion and finds a hidden door there. Curiosity gets the better of him, and he opens the secret door to find something that changes his life forever.
