When Daniel saw his older neighbor arguing with her son about her plants, he decided to help her. He offered to water her garden while she moved. Later, he discovered a note hidden in the soil that changed everything in an unexpected way.
“I can’t believe you would ask that of me! I can’t come here every day to water your plants! If you gave me the house, I would do it!” Daniel heard someone shouting as he stopped his bike in front of a pretty little house with a lovely garden. He knew Mrs. Carrino lived there, but he had never spoken to her and didn’t know who was yelling.
Suddenly, he saw a man leave the house, still shouting, with the older woman following behind. “Arnold, I asked you to help me, but all you care about is getting this house! Are you crazy? Do you want me to die so you can have my house?” she exclaimed.
Daniel’s eyebrows raised in surprise, and he thought about leaving, but he couldn’t move.
Then, he heard a loud crash of metal. “What the—” he said to himself.
“You’re being dramatic, Mom! This house will be mine anyway. I can’t believe you’re acting like this when I’m trying to help you move!” Arnold shouted.
“Leave right now if you’re going to act like that!” Mrs. Carrino replied. Arnold angrily stomped to his car and drove off. They were so caught up in their argument that they didn’t even notice Daniel standing there with his bike.
Finally, Mrs. Carrino looked over and noticed him. “Oh, dear. What are you doing here? Do I know you?” she asked.
“I live two houses down the street. I’m Daniel, Caroline’s son,” he said, pointing back to his house. “I’m sorry, but I was biking around and heard the yelling. Are you alright, Mrs. Carrino?”
“Oh, I remember you now! It’s nice that you know my name. Don’t worry about it. It was just my son being difficult,” she explained.
“Why is he acting like that?”
“Well… I’m moving to a nursing home, and I asked him to help me. But he only came here to ask if I could give him the house. He wants to move in, but I know he’ll just sell it. He doesn’t value it like I do. I worked hard for this place, and as long as I’m alive, I won’t sell it,” Mrs. Carrino said. “Then he threw a fit when I asked him to water my plants. I guess you saw the rest of the fight.”
“I can do that,” Daniel said, shrugging his shoulders.
“Do what?”
“Water your plants.”
“I can’t pay you, dear,” Mrs. Carrino replied, looking sorry.
“I know. But I live so close. It’s not a problem,” Daniel insisted, making her smile brightly.
A few days later, Mrs. Carrino moved to a nursing home nearby, and Daniel kept his promise. He visited her home almost every day to water her plants and was happy to help. Before long, he started to love gardening and would visit Mrs. Carrino to ask about adding some new plants.
Dropping the shovel, Daniel used his hands to dig up a mason jar with a metal lid and found a note inside.
“Dear Daniel! Thank you for your help. This house is now yours! Go inside and find all the paperwork. You and your family can move in whenever you want!”
Daniel couldn’t believe his eyes. He rushed inside, using the key Mrs. Carrino had left him. On the kitchen counter, he saw the title to the house. Although he didn’t understand most of it, he saw his name at the bottom.
Still in shock, he called Mrs. Carrino, who confirmed everything. “You’ll need to sign it to complete the transfer. But I wanted you to find the note first!” she said.
His mother couldn’t believe it either. They could move into the house and stop paying rent. There was no mortgage, which would help their family a lot. They were so grateful for Mrs. Carrino’s gift that his mother and siblings started visiting her often, thinking of her as a grandmother.
But during their move, Daniel discovered something even more surprising. In Mrs. Carrino’s old room, he found another note. It was similar to the first one but said “Arnold.”
It turned out that Mrs. Carrino had originally planned to give her son the house if he helped her with her plants. However, after his rude behavior, she changed her mind and decided to give the house to Daniel instead.
This unexpected gift came just for being kind and helpful. It was a lesson Daniel would never forget.
Elon Musk Quietly Welcomed Baby No. 12, His Third with Neuralink Corp.’s Shivon Zilis, Earlier This Year
“Our relatives and friends are all aware. Regarding the arrival of his newest child, Musk stated, “‘Secret’ does not mean failure to issue a press release, which would be bizarre.”
Elon Musk just had a new child.
Earlier this year, the 52-year-old founder of Tesla secretly welcomed Shivon Zilis, the director of special projects at Neuralink Corp., into his family.
To Page Six, Musk affirmed the information. Regarding “secretly fathered,” it is likewise untrue,” he provided a statement to the publication. “Our family and friends are all aware.”
“It is not a secret if a press release is not issued, which would be strange,” the X Corp. owner continued.
As of right now, Musk’s youngest child’s gender and name are unknown.
Musk and his associates make an effort to keep their kids’ lives private.
Grimes, the mother of three of Musk’s children, posted a long message on X (previously Twitter) in September 2023 asking for privacy for her and the three children.
She also spoke about the current press that has focused on her co-parenting arrangement with the CEO of Tesla and the information that they secretly welcomed a third child, a son named Techno, not long after Musk welcomed his children with Zilis.
“Hey, I want to de-escalate the narrative at the moment, but I would prefer not to breathe any more life into this current press cycle,” the artist said.
Grimes went on, “I spoke with Shivon at length finally, which was long overdue,” in response to Zilis’ remarks.
She pleaded with supporters, saying that Zilis wasn’t to blame for their situation and urged them not to be upset with her. We are eager to become friends and raise the children together because we greatly appreciate one another.
In 2002, Musk and his first wife, Justine Wilson, welcomed their first child, a son named Nevada Alexander. At ten weeks old, the infant passed away from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Wilson then used IVF to create twins Vivian Jenna and Griffin in 2004, and in 2006, triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian were born.
In May 2020, X Æ A-Xii, Musk and Grimes’ first child together, was born.
Then, in November 2021, he discreetly welcomed the twins, Azure and Strider, with Zilis. A year later, Grimes told Vanity Fair that she and Musk received a daughter, Exa Dark Siderael, via surrogate in December 2021.
The tech titan’s third child with Grimes, a son named Techno Mechanicus, also known as “Tau,” was born, as reported in journalist Walter Isaacson’s 2023 biography of Musk. This was the first announcement of the birth of Musk’s youngest child.
