As my life was going down, I realized I had no one to pass on everything I had, so I decided to find an heir, pretending to be homeless.

“This guy gave me an invaluable experience. I don’t know how many more years I have, but I’m sure I made the right choice, wrote Alexander, 70. The elderly man has made a considerable fortune, but he has no heirs. To transfer his wealth to a worthy person, our hero resorted to an interesting trick. Which one you will find out later in the article.



This is an invaluable experience I come from an orphanage. When my parents passed away, I closed myself, but I was determined to succeed in this life. I wanted my mother and father to look at me and be proud of their son. I kept my promise.

By my old age, I had made a decent fortune. But I had no wife, no children, no one to leave everything I have. I became a successful businessman and a good leader, but my personal life was always neglected. It was hard for me to trust someone, to focus my life on one person.



Now I regret that I could not find the only one with whom I could start a family. No, I don't feel alone. I feel a kind of emptiness, which is much scarier than I now think.

I know I might not be here at any time. But I don't have an heir. My lawyer offered to do charity work. Really, that's not what I'd like. I want to find someone who deserves to be my successor. And then I had an interesting idea in my head.



I thought I could pretend to be homeless and go looking for an heir to the nearest grocery store. I bought old clothes, a cane and even a beard. It was very interesting to see how people would react to the poor old man.

When I went to the store, the first thing one of the cashiers yelled at me was: “Hello, Grandpa, you can’t go into our store in this form.” Get out of here! I was struck by this rudeness and replied, "Sorry, I just need some food." Don't throw me out, please!

But the nasty cashier didn't stop. The shoppers standing next to me started supporting her and kicking me in the neck. Then a guard intervened in the brewing conflict. He took me by the arm and took me to the store. And he said to all the dissatisfied, “This old man is just like you all!” Show some respect, you should be ashamed!



The guard took the cart and walked around the store with me, collecting a basic set of products. This wonderful man even put some sweets. Then he went to the cash register and paid for everything himself. When we left the store, I asked him why he wanted to help me.

My savior said, "I used to be homeless myself." My house burned down and I couldn’t find a job to get back on my feet for a long time. I was rejected everywhere. It was only in this store that they came into my position and accepted me. I did not let my boss down and promised myself that I would never leave anyone in need of help in trouble.”



The story of this man touched me, I asked him where he lived now. It turned out that the guard is huddled with his wife and child in the hostel. I realized that this is the person to whom I will leave my fortune.

I told my lawyer everything and asked him to arrange it. Thanks to this guy, I got an invaluable experience. I don’t know how many more years I have, but I’m sure I made the right choice.



In addition to the will, I wrote a letter to my future heir, in which I told about everything. I went to the store several times to watch the guard. Each time I was convinced that he was worthy.

This story illustrates how a sincere desire to help a stranger can lead to unexpected consequences. The store guard did as his heart told him, asking for nothing in return. These are the people who deserve a miracle in their lives.
