📘 The house of lost and found by Martin Widmark

Niles, a widower living alone in a large, dust‑laden home, remembers the people he has lost and keeps them in the quiet corners of his house. One day, the boy from the next door asks him to look after a potted plant. Reluctantly agreeing, Niles takes the pot of earth home, unsure whether he still knows how to nurture life. As the plant begins to grow, Niles finds that tending a living thing may revive his own sense of purpose, weaving themes of friendship, hope, and the healing power of caring.
