Theme: A possibility becomes an impossibility at times

Here is the story of my visit to my ancestral house. We had lived in that house for about twenty years. I went there to see it. It was very old but it looked majestically. I remembered the old saying. ‘Old is Gold’. I stood near the well painted old gate, staring at the house. He invited me into his house. His mother was there. His father had gone on an official tour.

My eyes’ searched the house. I told his mother about the precious thing that we left when we sold this house. I took them into a room inside the house. I climbed on a ladder and looked for it on the upper shelf. It was never opened since we left. In the midst of certain old things, I saw it. I was extremely happy. They were surprised to see it. It wasn’t rusty.

It was an air gun my grandfather had been using. He had given it to me. I brought it down carefully. They were surprised to see my precious treasure. They allowed me to take it home. I left the place saying goodbye to the boy and the mother. I walked down the road with my treasure having my eyes filled with tears of joy.
