The Old Man and the House

There once was an old man who lived in the same house that he was born in. For over eighty years he took care of the house, and he thought he knew everything there was to know about his home. Then one summer afternoon, a tornado hit the area and destroyed part of his house. As the old man walked through the wreckage, tiptoeing over the shattered glass and wood debris, he discovered steps under his bedroom closet. The steps led to a hidden cellar that had not been used for over a century; a secret kept by the house until that day.
