\n\u201cI can\u2019t believe you\u2019d ask me to do that! I can\u2019t come every day to water your plants! If you gave me the house, then I would!\u201d Daniel overheard someone yelling as he stopped his bike in front of a quaint house with a beautiful garden. He knew an elderly woman, Mrs. Carrino, lived there, but he had never spoken with her and had no idea who was shouting.\n
\n
Just then, he saw a man storm out of the house, still yelling, while the older woman followed him. \u201cArnold, I asked for your help, and all you\u2019re talking about is inheriting the house! Do you want me gone so you can have it?\u201d she exclaimed.\n
As Daniel stood frozen in place, the argument continued. Then he heard metal crashing, startling him. \u201cYou\u2019re being dramatic, Mom. This house will be mine anyway. I can\u2019t believe you\u2019re giving me grief when I came here to help you pack!\u201d Arnold fumed, storming to his car and driving off, leaving his mother standing in frustration.\n

\n
Finally noticing Daniel, she asked, \u201cOh, who are you? Do I know you?\u201d\n
\u201cI\u2019m Daniel, from two houses down. I was riding by, heard the commotion, and wanted to check if you were alright,\u201d he explained, concerned.\n
\u201cAh, yes! I recognize you now. Don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s just my son being difficult,\u201d she replied, rolling her eyes.\n
\u201cWhy was he upset?\u201d Daniel asked.\n
Mrs. Carrino sighed. \u201cI\u2019m moving to a retirement home and needed help packing. But he only came to ask for the house, saying he\u2019d live here. I know he just wants to sell it, though. This home means a lot to me, and I won\u2019t give it up while I\u2019m still here. He got annoyed when I asked him to water my plants,\u201d she explained.\n

\n
Daniel shrugged. \u201cI can water them if you want.\u201d\n
\u201cReally? I can\u2019t pay you, dear,\u201d she said apologetically.\n
\u201cThat\u2019s okay,\u201d Daniel assured her. \u201cI live so close, it\u2019s no problem.\u201d\n
A few days later, Mrs. Carrino moved, and Daniel kept his promise, regularly tending to her plants. He found he loved gardening and would even visit her to ask about new plants to add. \u201cKeep an eye on the soil, you never know what you\u2019ll find!\u201d she joked mysteriously.\n
As he developed a love for gardening, Daniel dreamed of starting his own business to help ease his family\u2019s financial troubles. One day, while planting azaleas, he dug in a spot where he heard metal clink, uncovering a mason jar with a note inside.\n

\n
\u201cDear Daniel, thank you for your help. This house is now yours! Go inside to find the paperwork. You and your family can move in whenever you\u2019re ready!\u201d\n
In disbelief, Daniel rushed inside, using the key she had left him, and found the house title with his name on it. He called Mrs. Carrino, who confirmed everything. \u201cYou\u2019ll just need to sign the papers to make it official. I wanted you to find the note first!\u201d she told him.\n
Daniel\u2019s mother was overwhelmed; this gift would end their struggles with rent. The family visited Mrs. Carrino often, treating her like a grandmother.\n
During the move, Daniel found another note in her room, identical to his but addressed to \u201cArnold.\u201d She had originally planned to give the house to her son if he\u2019d cared for her plants, but after his outburst, she chose Daniel instead. It was a lesson in kindness he would always remember.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
