Serendipity

True story:

Mel, 70 years old and living the 'good life' in Florida found $146 dollars laying on the sidewalk in front of a lady's boutique last December. Figuring someone lost their Christmas spending money he went into the store and told the clerk he had found a non-disclosed amount of money. He left his phone number should someone stop by the store hoping to reclaim their misplaced money.

Two weeks went by and no phone call. He donated the money his favorite local charity which was hosting an upcoming holiday raffle. He was given 5 raffle tickets in exchange for his generosity.

Imagine his surprise when one of the raffle tickets netted him a $5,000 golf cart!

Not needing a golf cart, he arranged to receive the cash instead which he promptly donated right back to the charity.
