Students purchased an antique couch at a market and brought it back to their dorm room

In February, a group of friends stumbled upon a couch at a Salvation Army store. After enjoying a movie night, they discovered something odd nestled within the cushions. Upon closer inspection, they uncovered several bubble wrap envelopes containing a staggering $41,000. Although they initially considered using the unexpected fortune, their ethical principles took precedence.

When they found an envelope addressed to a woman, their entitlement faded, prompting them to return the money. With assistance from their parents, they tracked down the woman and returned the funds she had stashed in the couch for over three decades. This money, given to her by her late husband, had been intended to support her after his death.

The friends felt proud of their decision, and in a touching gesture, the woman rewarded their integrity with a $1,000 gift. This incident highlights the significance of moral character and the importance of making the right choices, even when faced with surprising financial gains.

King Charles’ very unexpected ‘competitive’ hobby he shares with wife Queen Camilla

King Charles and Queen Camilla have a happy marriage, but there’s one hobby they get really competitive about, according to Camilla’s son, Tom Parker Bowles. In his new cookbook, Cooking and the Crown, which features royal-inspired recipes, Tom shared that the couple loves collecting mushrooms and are very competitive about who finds the most. King Charles has enjoyed this hobby for years, and now it’s something they both take seriously! Tom revealed this while introducing his recipe for fresh pappardelle with porcini mushrooms.

King Charles has had a passion for mushroom hauling for years

Tom wrote that King Charles and Queen Camilla are “obsessed” with collecting wild mushrooms and are very competitive about how much they find. He also praised King Charles for his eco-friendly approach to food, calling him a “true food hero.” According to Tom, the King knows a lot about rare types of cattle, old varieties of plums and apples, the benefits of mutton, wild mushrooms, and even the strong appeal of smelly cheese!

Tom has a close relationship with his stepfather Charles

Every monarch has their own favorite foods and habits, and King Charles is known for his passion for sustainable, eco-friendly farming. He’s been focused on this long before it became popular, and his advice is very valuable because of how much he knows.

Tom, a food critic who grew up with Queen Camilla and her ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles, recently shared that Camilla was strict about food when he was a child, making sure he followed a healthy diet.

Tom also opened up about his “strict” family diet

In an interview, Tom shared that he grew up eating food that was local, seasonal, and organic, long before those terms became popular. His mother, Queen Camilla, would shop at small, local stores like the butcher, fishmonger, bakery, and greengrocer. Although Tom liked some processed foods, they were rare in his home. He also said his mother, who he praised as a “good cook,” kept a close eye on what they were allowed to eat.

Tom joked that when a Sainsbury’s supermarket opened in Chippenham in the early ’80s, it felt like everything changed from black-and-white to full color, just like in The Wizard of Oz. Suddenly, there were exciting foods like Ice Magic, Birds Eye Chicken Pies, Butterscotch Angel Delight, and big packs of Monster Munch. He and his siblings wanted to try it all, but his mother, Queen Camilla, was still pretty strict about what they could eat.
