We find many such people around us, looking at whom we feel what amazing luck they have achieved. Some of these people are rich by family, while the luck of some people shines after winning the lottery. At the same time, some people buy an item at a throwaway price, but in reality its price is much higher. One such true incident is becoming increasingly viral on social media. In fact, three students studying at the State University in Paltz, New York, USA, bought an old sofa, but as soon as they brought it home, their luck changed overnight. When the three friends narrated this story on social media, the post went viral within no time. A hidden treasure was found inside an old and smelly sofa. But what happened next? Know…
It is said that Reese Werkhoven, Cally Guasti and Lara Russo studied in three different colleges of the State University, but all three of them rented a flat together. These people also started buying second hand goods for this flat. After taking all the things, these people bought an old sofa, which also smelled bad. But he got this sofa for only Rs 1300. In such a situation, the three friends took him to their flat. But little did he know that his life would change because of an old sofa and he would go viral on social media within no time. Actually, after bringing the sofa to the flat, the three friends set it up. They were sitting on the sofa talking when suddenly they felt something near them. After all, what is that thing? To find out this, all three decided to remove the mattress.
As soon as the three friends removed the mattress, their eyes widened in tears. There was an old envelope lying under the mattress, inside which 41 thousand dollars i.e. more than 34 lakh 41 thousand rupees were hidden. But the matter did not end here. As the three removed the mattresses from the sofa, their surprise increased. Talking about this, Reese Workhoven said, ‘I was scared for a moment.’ But later after taking out the money from the sofa, we were screaming with joy the whole night. “We put everything on the bed and started counting. In the morning our neighbors were wondering, ‘Did you win the lottery?'” Later we learned that the money belonged to a 91-year-old widow, in whom she had hidden her savings for the last 30 years. Unknowingly his family members sold him to us.
Laura Russo told that after this the three of us friends discussed among ourselves and everyone agreed that we have to return this money to the person who has the right to it. It’s their money, we haven’t earned it. But who is the real owner of this money? Callie Guasti told that when we started looking at the sofa properly, we found a slip on which the name and number of the widowed woman was written. As soon as we called him and talked about the sofa, he said, ‘I have a lot of money in my sofa and I need it.’ The students decided that the old woman had to return her money. In such a situation, they went to his house in Hudson Valley and returned the money. When he returned the money, the woman became emotional and started crying.
This story is becoming increasingly viral on social media, when we checked, we found that this incident happened in the year 2014. But people are praising his honesty on social media. Some people say that who does this in today’s times? But these three students definitely helped the elderly woman by returning her money. Let us tell you that during that time, these three college students received a reward of 1,000 dollars for their honesty, which is more than 80 thousand rupees as of today. Guasti told that this money was not ours. If any of us had used it, it would have felt really wrong.
