A father told his 3 sons when he sent them to the university: "I feel it's my
duty to provide you with the best possible education, and you do not owe me
anything for that. However, I want you to appreciate it. As a token, please each
put $1,000 into my coffin when I die.”
And so it happened. His sons became a doctor, a lawyer and a financial planner,
each very successful financially. When their father's time had come and they saw
their father in the coffin, they remembered his wish.
First, it was the doctor who put 10 $100 bills onto the chest of the deceased.
Then, came the financial planner, who also put $1,000 there.
Finally, it was the heartbroken lawyer's turn.He dipped into his pocket, took out
his checkbook, wrote a check for $3,000, put it into his father's coffin, and
took the $2,000 cash
He later went on to become a member of Congress...
