A small story - Money (am not the author)

Money

There was a man who worked all of his life and saved all of his money. He was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved money more than just about anything, and 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 the casket with me. I wanna take my money to the afterlife." 
So he got 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 died. He was stretched out in the casket, the wife was sitting there in black 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 shoe box with her, she came over with the box and placed it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away. Her friend said, "I hope you weren't crazy enough to put all that money in the casket." 

"Yes," the wife said, "I promised. I'm a good Christian, I can't lie. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him." 

"You mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in the casket with him?"
"I sure did. I got it all together, put it into my account and I wrote him a check."

Happy Deepavali and Prosperous New Year

I like my toys says the little heart

These Toys are of a kid you like them a lot. The kid is never tired of playing with them. Why it is so? That's be of the curiosity the kid has. His knowledge at this stage about the specific toy is a mystery for him, how it is moving is the first question in his mind that arises. And next came into his mind what’s the magic in the wheels (called the Tyres) that makes this object move.
The kid likes to play with these vehicles and explorer them in different ways. He could find this has something that can lift the object which got no much interest to his mind. He could not see anything moving so drastically like the movement of the vehicle as the tyres rotate.  I showed him that you can keep another car over this and take wherever you like to take, when it got repaired or its tyre is punctured. (He had seen Car gets punctured and he knows well).


Then he bought a small car of his and kept on it and was playing, as this car is the defect one. Could you find that there is no tire, what would have happened to it? Hmm, this kid is very fond of the tyres and he removes the wheels off the vehicles within 2 days of its purchase. And when asked he says, the TYRE got punctured and its given for repair in the repairing shop.
