Steve and Rebecca were not well-off but they managed to save enough money to get a mortgage on a house which needed a lot doing to it. After moving into thier new house, they has central heating put in and felt very cosy for the first time. Unfortunately, one problem remained - some of their old furniture was too big to fit into the small rooms. Steve was very reluctant to get rid of it but finally he gave in. One day, Steve bumped into an old friend, Jane, who was into antiques, and he asked her to come and have a look at their stuff.
Jane couldn't believe her eyes when she saw their wardrobe - it was a sixteenth century antique worth thousands of pounds. At first they couldn't take in what she was saying but then they realised that, if they sold it, they could at last afford to renovate the house exactly as they wanted to. Jane talked them into letting her sell it for them and they began to plan their dream house.
Jane spent the next week looking into the history of the wardrobe and then took it to an auction in London. There it sold to an American collector for ₤50,000. Ironically, Rebecca and Steve realised that they could now afford to move into a larger house where they would need larger furniture!
