Sophia was helping her aunt clear out her deceased uncle's home. It was a somber task, filled with memories. But then, inside a drawer, she discovered a letter, a draft of her uncle’s resignation from his career. It was dated many years ago.

A smile spread across her face, growing wider and wider. This was amazing! He’d quit! She felt a sensation of pure glee that spread through her body. She began to dance around the room, humming a little tune, and then bursting out in laughter. She felt as though she could fly.

This was exactly what she needed. She picked up the phone. She had to tell somebody! "You won't believe what I found," she said, her voice filled with excitement.
