A dying man gathered his Lawyer, Doctor and Clergyman at his bed
side and handed each of them an envelope containing $25,000 in cash.
He made them each promise that after his death and during his repose,
they would place the three envelopes in his coffin. He told them that
he wanted to have enough money to enjoy the next life.
A week later the man died. At the Wake, the Lawyer and Doctor and
Clergyman, each concealed an envelope in the coffin and bid their
old client and friend farewell. By chance, these three met several
months later. Soon the Clergyman, feeling guilty, blurted out a
confession saying that there was only $10,000 in the envelope he
placed in the coffin. He felt, rather than waste all the money,
he would send it to a Mission in South America. He asked for their
forgiveness. The Doctor, moved by the gentle Clergymans sincerity,
confessed that he too had kept some of the money for a worthy medical
charity. The envelope, he admitted, had only $8000 in it. He said,
he too could not bring himself to waste the money so frivolously when
it could be used to benefit others.
By this time the Lawyer was seething with self-righteous outrage. He
expressed his deep disappointment in the felonious behavior of two of
his oldest and most trusted friends. “I am the only one who kept his
promise to our dying friend. I want you both to know that the envelope
I placed in the coffin contained the full amount. Indeed, my envelope
contained my personal check for the entire $25,000.”
