My savings account didn't look like that when I was 10 (heck, it doesn't look like that now)
So.
Ten-year-old Cliff Forrest Jr. took $8,500 out of his savings account to buy William "The Refrigerator" Perry's Super Bowl XX ring — which the financially strapped Perry sold years ago — and give it back to him.
The Pittsburgh lad decided to give Perry the ring after learning the former Bear lineman suffers from Guillain-Barre syndrome, an autoimmune disease that can cause paralysis.
"He only played in one Super Bowl," Cliff explained in an interview. "I thought he would want it more than I did."
I’m not sure what’s more surprising: Cliff’s generosity or the fact the 10-year-old had a savings account with at least $8,500 in it.
