A rich old man is on his deathbed…
…but he does not have any heirs. But he has three good friends – a teacher, a doctor, and a lawyer.
He calls them to his side and tells them,
“I am dying. I wish to be buried with half my wealth. I will now give you $5 million each, and you should bury half of that with my casket when I die.
All three agreed, and soon the man died. On the day of the funeral, all three attended. Then it came time to bury the casket.
The teacher said,
“I’m sorry. I saw all the poor children who couldn’t afford to go to school, so I built a school for them. I don’t have any money left to bury.”
The doctor said, “I’m also sorry. I saw all the poor sick people and built a hospital for them, and I don’t have any money left.”
The lawyer said, “What kind of friends are you if you can’t even honour his dying wish!” and then placed a cheque for $2.5 million on the casket.
