Boy Spends Last Money to Buy Fruits for Ill Granny, Store Owner Appears In Her Ward Later – Story of the Day

Tyler wanted to buy fruits for his sick grandmother but refused to take them for free. The grocery store owner noticed the determined boy and decided to step in.

Tyler loved riddles. His grandmother, Martha, had taught him to be curious and solve them, rewarding him with 50 cents for each answer. That night, Tyler stared at his piggy bank, thinking of how to help her recover. He remembered the doctor’s warning about pneumonia and how his grandmother always gave him oranges when he was sick.

‘That’s it!’ Tyler thought. He would buy her the best fruits with his savings.

The next morning, Tyler filled a bag with strawberries, blueberries, apples, and oranges. At the counter, he handed the cashier his piggy bank. “There’s 42 dollars and 50 cents in here. Will that be enough?”

The owner, Stella, smiled. “Actually, you’re $14 short. But you can take the fruits. It’s okay.”

“No, I won’t take them for free,” Tyler said firmly. Then his eyes lit up. “Let’s make a deal. I’ll ask you a riddle. If you answer it, I’ll ask my dad for $14. If you don’t, you give me the fruits.”

Stella chuckled and agreed. Tyler grinned.

“What’s always in front of us, but we can’t see it?” he asked.

Stella and the others in the store paused, thinking hard.

“Air?” she guessed.
“No.”
“Spectacles?”
“Nope. Last chance.”
