Summary: When Grandma gets a letter saying she will be inheriting some money, she begins to worry and wonder how she will spend it. In the end, she ultimately doesn't receive anything, because that money had to cover bills of the person who bequeathed it to her.

Episode Quotes

Season 2 / Episode 13: - The Bequest

Olivia Walton: [after John Boy has read her a poem for her birthday] John Boy, those words were just like listenin' to music. [pauses] I don't really understand what the poem meant, but I think those were just about the most beautiful words I ever heard.
John 'John Boy' Walton Jr.: Well, I think the poem has a meaning, um, to me, it means that some things which may seem too simple, or unimportant, or even just downright plain, those things are really every bit as important and every bit as beautiful as the most magnificent things in the whole world.

Season 2 / Episode 13: - The Bequest

Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] The peace and beauty of the land and sky around Waltons Mountain was a source of constant comfort to all of us during those difficult Depression years. Some of the changes that were going on in the world did eventually reflect themselves on our mountain, like the increase in the number of airplanes that spotted the sky. In particular, I remember an airmail plane that used our mountain as a landmark. My mother especially liked to wait for the plane to go over and, sometimes watching, she'd get the look on her face people have when they watch wild geese winging their way south to warm, sunny days.
