Orphan Boy Wants to Get an RC Car for Christmas, Grandmother Gifts Him an Old Necklace – Story of the Day
13-year-old Ken ran away from his house on Christmas day because of his grandmother’s gift. But when he returned, she was not around — Grandma Sandy had been rushed to the hospital. Ken was so scared that he forgot all about presents and ran to her side with a promise, and then he received a surprise.

But instead, Grandma presented him with an old locket necklace that he hated immediately. Boys shouldn’t be wearing necklaces like that, he still thought, searching the house for his grandmother.

They lived in Los Angeles, California, which wasn’t the safest place for a teenager to be running around at night. But he went to Korea Town and stayed at a 24-hour sauna.

Now he was back feeling a little guilty and wanted to apologize to his grandmother. But he still really wanted that toy, and he was going to try to convince her to get it.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. It was their next-door neighbor, Mr. Dela Cruz. The older man looked at the boy and breathed a huge sigh of relief.
