A good education
A father told each of his 3 sons, as he sent them off to college, "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. First, the doctor put 10 newly printed crisp $100 bills onto the chest of the deceased.
Next, the financial planner also put $1,000 there in 20 newly printed crisp $50 bills.
Finally, it was the heartbroken lawyer's turn. He reached into his pocket, took out his check book, wrote a check for $3,000, put it into his father's
coffin, and took the $2,000 cash. The lawyer is now running for Parliament in your district.
