The making of a politician
A father told his 3 sons when he sent them to the university: "I feel it's my duty to provideyou 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 rememberedhis wish.
First, it was the doctor who put 10 $100 bills onto the chest of the deceased.
Then, came the financial planner, who also put $1,000 there.
Finally, it was the heartbroken lawyer's turn. He dipped into his pocket, took out his checkbook,wrote a check for $3,000, put it into his father's coffin, and took the $2,000 cash.
He later went on to become a member of Congress.
