Many people visit the pawn shop in search of old items for sale, so it was no surprise when store owner Victor saw Tommy with a book in his hand. What was unexpected was the size of the book. Victor immediately informed the young man that he should not possess the item, but his reaction was unexpected.
Something special
Tommy was captivated by the book and knew that it was something special. He decided to visit the pawnshop to investigate further but had no idea that the item would be so large. When the expert explained the contents of the book to Tommy, his eyes widened in astonishment. He was speechless. What did Tommy find out about the book, why it was so special, and how it ended up in the attic of Grandma Alice?
Summer
Tommy was enjoying the warmth of the summer sun while indulging in an ice cream treat with his grandmother. It was mid-summer vacation and he had been asked to assist his grandmother in cleaning out her attic. As they were doing so, they discovered a variety of interesting items that had not been seen in the attic since the death of Grandma Alice’s husband, Grandpa Glenn.
Cleaning out the attic
Grandma Alice was unable to ascend the stairs and did not need any of the attic’s contents. As she was planning to retire after the summer, Tommy was asked to help her with the attic clean-out. The summer holidays had come to an end, and Grandma Alice had moved into a retirement home. Tommy had enjoyed his time with her and had learned a great deal about her past. Grandma Alice had told him a lot of stories about the attic stuff they had found, but those stories weren’t all.
Give to charity
Most of the items found could be donated to charitable organizations or used as second-hand items. Grandma Alice provided Tommy with a box to collect the items he desired to keep. There was a box of things that Tommy had collected that he had put under the bed, and had forgotten about for a while.
Nothing like it
One day, while cleaning out Grandma Alice’s room, he found it again. He decided to look again at all the stuff he collected. There were some old photo albums, with lots of pictures of his grandparents as kids, a few DVDs, and some of Tommy’s old toys from his childhood. But there was one thing that caught his eye as he was cleaning out the attic – a book. “This is the oldest thing we’ve found,” he said, “I’ll take a look at it.” As soon as he saw it, he was hooked up to a dusty drawer and ready to go. He had never seen anything like it before!
