Another variation of an old story 
A father told his three sons when he sent them to the university: "I feel it's my duty to provide you 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. The sons became a doctor, a lawyer, and a financial planner, each very successful financially.
When they saw their father in the coffin one day, they remembered his wish.
First it was the doctor who put ten $100 bills onto the chest of the deceased.
Then came the financial planner who also put a $1,000 bill there.
Finally, it was the heartbroken lawyer's turn. He dipped into his pocket, took out his checkbook, wrote a check for $3,000.
He put it into his father's coffin, and took the $2,000 cash.
