There was a lonely old man, with no son or daughter, his health was not very well. He decided to move to a nursing home.
The old man announced that he would sell his beautiful house. Many people heard this news, and all wanted to buy.
The price of the house was 80,000 pounds. But too many people wanted to buy, the price went up to 100,000, and kept increasing.
The old man was very sad. If his was healthy, he wouldn’t want to sell the home that had been with him for a majority of his life.
A young man dressed simple came to the old man, and said to him: Mister, I’d also like to buy this house. However I onl have 10,000 pounds.
But if you sell this house to me, I promise to let you continue live here as before. You can drink tea, read newspapers, take a walk with me. Everyday you’d be happy. Trust me, I will take good care of you.
The old man smiled and nodded. Eventually he sold the house to him for 10,000 pounds.
Sometimes, to accomplish a dream only require that you have a heart of loving people.
