Disabled Orphan Boy Watches Rich Man’s Mansion across the Lake, the Man Sees Him and Approaches – Story of the Day

Patrick lost both his parents in a car crash when he was 11 years old. He had to live in an orphanage for a few years but was adopted. He and his family visited their cottage near the lake one day and he saw a mansion had been built nearby. When he met the owner, he learned valuable information.

Patrick was born to two loving parents, but they died in a car crash when he was 11 years old. A neighbor had been babysitting him on that fateful day and she later handed him to a nearby orphanage because she was not physically strong enough to take care of Patrick full-time. Patrick had no other relatives who could take care of him either, so he moved into the orphanage immediately.

Patrick wheeled himself to the edge of the small lake, where he noticed a huge mansion across. It had not been there the last time the family came to the cottage. “Dad, do you know those people who built that house?” Patrick shouted.

“No, but they clearly have money to spare,” his dad replied and laughed.

Patrick admired the mansion for a while and then a man appeared, followed by a boy who looked about his age. He watched the two play baseball and he suddenly felt sad. “Hey, are you okay?” his mother asked when she saw how quiet he had gotten.

“Yes. I just miss playing baseball with my dad. He was so good at it,” Patrick said, holding the tip of the baseball hat...
