And so it happened. His sons became a doctor, a financial planner, and a lawyer, each successful financially.
When their father died and they saw him in the coffin, they remembered his wish.
First, the doctor stacked 10 crisp $100 bills onto the chest of the deceased.
Next, the financial planner placed $1,000 there in 20 crisp $50 bills.
Finally, it was the heartbroken lawyer’s turn. He slowly reached into his pocket, removed his cheque book, wrote a check for $3,000, put it into his father’s coffin, and took the $2,000 cash.
