inside.“upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to jack bennett. its the thing i valued most in my life.” a small key was taped to the letter. his heart racing, and tears filling his eyes, jack carefully unlocked the box. there inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.inside he found these words carved: “jack, thanks for your time! harold belser.”“oh, my god! this is the thing he valued most”jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and put off his appointments to the next week.
