A greedy brother inherits a house, mocking his sister, Linda, who gets only five rusty old clocks from their late grandmother. Little do they know, these clocks hide a valuable secret.
Brian, 26, scoffs at 19-year-old Linda as they visit their sick grandmother, Marlene, who had called them urgently. Linda, who had cared for Marlene until recently, is deeply worried about her health. Brian, indifferent to his grandmother’s condition, only cares about the inheritance.
Marlene gives each of them $5,000, but Brian is disappointed and leaves without gratitude. The next day, Linda returns with an additional $4,000 and offers to pay for her grandma’s eye surgery, but Marlene insists it’s too late for that. Instead, Linda renovates the house with the money, fulfilling a long-held wish of Marlene’s.
A week later, Marlene passes away peacefully. At the lawyer’s office, Brian inherits the house, but Linda receives five old clocks. He mocks her, claiming she got nothing of value.
However, when Linda opens one clock, she finds a note revealing that each clock is worth $40,000. They were priceless antiques passed down from her grandfather. Linda realizes her grandmother’s love and wisdom, choosing not to share the secret with Brian.
The story teaches that people get what they truly deserve. Linda’s selfless love and care for her grandmother led her to inherit a hidden treasure worth $200,000, while Brian’s greed blinded him to what really mattered.
