A miser's final wish
Mr. Lin was a really hard working man. every day, he works for 10 or 12 hours and he slept for just a few. Mr. Lin had only one purpose in mind: to make a lot of money, and to spend as little of it as possible. he was a Miser.
as he did not trust in banks, Mr. Lin kept all of the bank notes that he saved inside shoe boxes. every night, before going to sleep, Mr. Lin sat and looked at his money. one night, he called his wife and said "when I die I want you to take all of my money and place it inside my coffin. I want to take all of my money with me, even the few pennies I have saved."
one day Mr. Lin died. Mrs. Lin was sitting next to her closest friend during the ceremony. when the ceremony finished and before the coffin was closed , Mrs. Lin said: "wait just a minute!" she had a large shoe box with her. she stood up, went to the coffin, and placed The Shoe Box inside it. then, the coffin was closed and buried.
her friend said: "I hope you weren't crazy enough to put all that money in the coffin!" I'm a good wife," said Mrs Lin, I promised him that I was going to put his money in that coffin with him, and I did it." you mean to tell me you put every penny of his money in the coffin with him?" "of course," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my bank account and then wrote him a cheque.
