Story in a box

The story is related to my life. When I was 8 years old, my family and my uncle used to live together. My uncle used to tell me what his plans are after his retirement. Well, his plans were to travel all over the world. After some time he had finally retired, and his goal came true; he had chance to travel, so he did. At the time he was traveling, I was 10 years old. Obviously, I was waiting him to bring me some gifts when he comes back. After he came back, he told me that he brought some pictures of some historical places, and collected some antique things that are fun. So, I was told that he will give some of the antique collections. However, after he came home he started telling us some of the stories that happened while he was traveling. The story started off traveling to china. My uncle said that when he went to china, and he met with a guy who used to earn money by playing a drum in streets. My uncle tried to talk to him as the guy looked so poor. So, my uncle tried to give him some money to help him, and the guy felt bad to get the money just for nothing, then he offered one very historical cloth as the cloth had a history of 200 years and the guy gave the cloth to my uncle. Then, my uncle moved to another story, and told us about a museum of sculptures that he visited when he was in china. He told that the some sculptures were handcrafted such as the head of valburga. Nonetheless, most of them were made by molding them such as the statue of a black woman with some historical clothes. He said he enjoyed in china a lot, and he started talking about his travel to Spain. First of all he said that Spain was famous by its agricultural industry, so he started visiting some farms in Spain to make sure if it is real or not. Once he went to one of the farms there, he found out that they call farms as “finca” in their language. He said that after seeing many farms, he was positive that Spain has a leading agricultural industry in the world. Then my uncle was really interested in visiting some stores that sell some antique collections in Spain. When he went to one antique selling store, he really liked some antique and unique things. Then he purchased total of 4 things that are little boat made by hand and wooden, glass jar which has been used to keep some medicine in 19th century, an ornament which has been found by archeologists and one historical leather wallet which was the most expensive thing in my uncle’s collection. Before his travel back, when he was walking in a garden, he found three chestnuts and he thinks that those chestnuts brought him luck and easiness while he was coming back. So my uncle said that he is going to give those chestnuts to me so that they would bring me luck. Obviously, my family and I was tired that night after meeting again with my uncle and talking to him for hours, then everybody went to sleep as my uncle said that he will tell the rest of the story the next day. Since that time I have been keeping those chestnuts in my bag and I think those chestnuts really made me lucky.
