There was a man who liked money very much. He worked all of his life and wanted to save all of his money for his own future. He was a real miser when it came to use his money. He loved money more than anything.
Even, just before he died, he said to his wife, "Now, listen, when I die, I want you to take all my money and place it in tne casket with me. I wanna take my money to the afterlife." So he asked his wife to promise him with all her heart that when he died, she would put all the money in the casket with him.
Well, one day, he really died. Then, he was stretched out in the casket. The wife was sitting there in black clothes next to her closest friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait just a minute!"
She had a box in her hands. She came over with the box and placed it in the casket. After that the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away. Not long after that, her friend said, "I hope you were not crazy enough to put all that money in the casket."
The wife turned to her friend and replied, "Yes, because I have promised." She continued, "I can't lie. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him." Feeling shocked, her friend said, "You mean that you have put every cent of his money in the casket with him?" The wife answered, "Surely I did. I got it all together, put all the money into my account and I just wrote him a check."
