A Rich old man is on his deathbed…

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 by 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 can’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.
