I spoke with my brother through the videophone last night. He shared an interesting story with me. He sold the backpack for carrying his toddlers, five years ago after his last child outgrew it.

With uan nexpected fourth child born about a year ago, he found it necessary to buy a new backpack. However, his finances have been stretched due to the latest addition to his family. He and his oldest son went to look for a new backpack and found many of them very expensive. A sales lady was kind enough to suggest to him about the second-hand store in a small town outside his city.

They went to that store and found a few second-hand backpacks. What astounded them was they found the SAME backpack that they sold five years ago! The backpack had an unrepaired damage which proved it to be theirs.

The best part was the cost: 10 Euro (about ten times less than what the new one cost)! My brother and his family couldn’t believe the whole circumstance, and that his fourth child has the privilige of riding in the same backpack that his older brothers and sister rode before.

That makes me very motivated in using The Secret to locate my artworks and writings that were illegally confiscated and sold by the storage management company!
