Answer:
On the day of his father´s funeral, James got a letter from the family lawyer. The letter was not a formal will, but it did hold his father´s last wish: to give James his most valuable possession.
James knew that his father didn´t have much money, so he thought it might be some savings or something worth a little money. He became excited with the idea of getting some money to pay for his upcoming wedding. His father´s letter explicitly said he was sure whatever he intended to gift him could be of much use for that event.
His father´s exact words were: "Find the key to your future under the sink." James went to the kitchen hoping to find a hidden treasure, but he only found a literal key. Hidden between the pipes, was a small copper key attached to the wall.
After running around the house trying to find where to use it, he collapsed exhausted on his father´s bed. The same where his mother slept before she died, years ago.
He suddenly noticed a small copper chest on his father´s bedside table. He was surprised when the key got it open. There he found his mother´s wedding ring. Then he realized that the key to his future was getting married and having a loving family such as that his parents built for him.
