Antique Shop Owner Asks Homeless Man Begging for Food Where He Got His Ring – Story of the Day
|Harold Simmons ended up begging on the streets after he was tricked by his wife. One day, he stopped by an antique shop to beg for food and discovered something about himself that he never knew before.
Harold would always beg near the mall, thinking those who went there would have some money to spare for him. He was an extremely kind man, always willing to help everyone.
Unfortunately, when the security guard noticed him lurking at the mall’s parking lot often, he was kicked out and banned from entering. That’s when he started to roam the streets.
One day, with nowhere to go, he chanced upon an antique store hoping someone would give him some money or even just some food. However, the store manager quickly sent him out. “Hey! You have no place here. Get out!” the manager yelled.
“I would just like to ask for some food,” Harold quietly said before turning to leave.

At that moment, the antique shop’s owner, Arnold, stepped out of his office to see what the commotion was about. When he realized his manager was about to kick Harold out, he reprimanded him.
“That’s no way to treat people, Adam. You must always be kind to everyone you meet,” Arnold said, shaking his head. He walked towards Harold and handed him 20 dollars. “I hope you find something good to eat with this money,” he said.
As Harold reached out for the handout, the shop owner noticed the ring on his finger. “Where did you get that ring?!” he asked quickly.
“This is a ring that my grandmother passed on to me a long time ago. She told me it was her late husband’s and she wanted me to have it,” he said.
“Did you know that on the black market, you can sell this ring for about eighty thousand dollars? There are only two of these in the world. The owners were two brothers, and they had it custom-made. Would you like to hear the story?” Arnold asked, motioning for Harold to sit on one of the stools inside the shop.
