But when his balloons flew away, Kason was left sad.
However, 804 kilometres away, a man in Cleveland, Tennessee, was mowing his lawn when he saw the same balloons stuck in his fence. They were attached to an envelope that contained the business the balloons came from and the name of Kason’s school.
The man made sure that Kason’s birthday was not ruined, so he sent hand-made gifts created in his wood shop to Kason and his teacher, as well as $100 (nearly Rs 8,228).
