Greedy Brothers Mock Younger Sister Because She Only Inherited an Old Umbrella — Story of the Day
Lesley, George, and Wilson lost their parents in a car crash as children and were raised by their grandparents. The insurance money covered the boys’ education, but by the time Lesley was ready for college, their grandmother fell ill. Instead of leaving, Lesley stayed, enrolled in community college, and cared for her grandparents.
Her brothers, now wealthy, didn’t help—financially or emotionally. When their grandfather died, they only showed up for the funeral because they expected an inheritance. Instead, they were shocked to learn the house was donated to a children’s shelter.
The only things left to them were a pocket watch, a silver cross, and an old umbrella—chosen in order of age. Lesley got the umbrella.
Mocked by her brothers, Lesley opened it in the rain, and hundreds of rare $1,000 bills fell out. The lawyer confirmed the bills, collected over generations, were worth up to $12,000 each.
Lesley used the money to pay off her home and start a savings fund. Her grandfather’s house went on to bring joy to at-risk children—while her brothers were left angry and empty-handed.
