It was a normal morning when I found a sleek black cat, Archibald, in my yard. I called the number on his collar, and the owner, Mr. Grayson, came to collect him, thanking me for finding his late wife’s beloved pet.
Three days later, a legal consultant arrived with an offer: I could receive $100,000 to sign an affidavit about when I found the cat, as Archibald was part of a $5 million trust. I was tempted, but after thinking it through, I refused to lie.
The next day, Mr. Grayson returned, apologizing for the situation and gifting me a rental property deed as a token of gratitude. It wasn’t millions, but it changed my life, allowing me to pursue my ceramics dream.
Months later, I met James, and eventually, we married. When I held our daughter, I realized what I gained—far more than money—was priceless.
