Kindness Rewarded: The Message in a Bottle

A surfer found a decades-old message in a glass bottle offshore, which promised an inheritance for whoever found it. She drove 12 hours to the listed address, which belonged to an old law firm. After some searching, she met an elderly widow whose husband was involved in the old arrangement. The woman gave the surfer a large check left by the client decades ago. The surfer then used over half the money to buy the elderly woman a new home.
