One day, a resident of Britain named Alfred Correia decided to clean up his garage. He has been retired for several years and has time to do household chores. Once he was sorting out old things and suddenly found one small little thing. It was a dog figurine. She looked quite old.
Alfred was interested in how old this item was and took it to an antiquarian. But Correia had no idea how ancient this figurine was. The antiquarian even had to turn to historians for help with dating.
It turned out that the dog figurine is a Chinese jade jewel made in the third millennium BC. That is, this trinket is five thousand years old!How could an ancient Chinese jewel get into a garage located in Foggy Albion? The fact is that Alfred’s father, Wilfred, was engaged in the jewelry trade. He was born in India and moved to the British Isles in the 1960s. Here he continued his business. Correia Sr. left our world eight years ago. Apparently, he forgot about the find. But Wilfred’s son found her.
The figurine was put up for auction and purchased for three million pounds. So Alfred can now not worry about his old age. He has plenty of resources.
