“By the way, would you mind if I asked you a question?”
“Sure, sir,” Lewis replied, smiling.
“Why did you go against everyone to feed a homeless man like me?” Mr. Hutchins inquired, perplexed. “I mean, you could have kicked me out, and your boss would never have known.”
“Well, sir,” Lewis continued, “there was a time when I came to my boss looking for work.
I didn’t have anything with me. I didn’t even have a place to stay, and I was inexperienced. But Mr.
Hutchins, my boss, offered me a job and paid for a small apartment on the condition that I work hard. That day, I realized how important it is to be kind to others.”
Mr. Hutchins gave him a friendly smile.
Here’s where your search ends, Larry, he thought to himself. You finally found your heir. He thanked Lewis once again for his generosity and walked away.
Seven years later, when Mr.
Hutchins left for his heavenly abode, Lewis received a call from Mr. Carter. He informed Lewis that Mr.
Hutchins had left him everything, including a short letter, which explained his homeless disguise and why he chose him as his inheritor.
