The parcel that had arrived today, contained an old key and a list of instructions to use it. I was worried and disappointed of course. I had asked My father abroad, a precious thing to show my friends. I took the old key and put it in my drawer, and that list of instructions, I threw it with my laundry. I was very angry with my father for giving such a gift. I called him,
"Father, I received the parcel today and I am really disappointed with it" I said.
"Why son? That is the richest thing I've ever had. Hmmm... Did you read the instructions? " He asked.
"I did not read it is there anything with it? I asked.
"Oh nothing, This key belonged to my father's father who was a good farmer. He worked hard from his childhood for his father left him a chest. Only that. So he worked hard to get a spare key to open the chest. The spare key he bought, opened the chest which is now in our house.Go and find it to know what he saw " he said.
I immediately ran around my room searching for the key. I got it, and I knew where that old chest was, it was in my father's room, precisely under his bed. I opened the chest to find a mirror inside. I looked at myself in the mirror.
My father gave me what he considered the most richest. It was me.
