The grandson came to visit his grandfather. The old man began to ask him about his affairs, but the grandson was taciturn.
“You look tired, as if you’ve lived a hard life,” the grandfather remarked.
“You’re right, there’s nothing good in my life,” the grandson sighed.
“I have prepared a gift to dispel your sadness,” said the grandfather. - Yes, I put it in the secretary drawer and forgot which one.
My grandfather’s secretary was an old one, with many doors.
“It doesn’t matter, I’ll find him quickly,” the grandson grinned and began to open one door after another. Soon the gift was found, and under it lay a note: “There are many doors in life, and behind one of them is a gift from fate. The wise say: “You have to knock on seven doors for one to open.”
