Archimedes

 
Octoberville

"Archimedes!"
Archimedes received an envelope in the mail for years. He opened that envelope to find it empty. But he kept all those envelopes, neatly organized by dates, in a shoe-box under the bed.
One day, a man arrived in town asking for him.
"Your instructions."
He rushed to his room. He unfolded all the envelopes open and there it was. A map.
He followed the map and at the location, he found a box.
"Oh, my God! I'm filthy rich."
Ah, his uncle, his only surviving relative, the trickster.
Good thing he hadn't thrown any of the envelopes away!
