A father had 3 sons. When he sent them to college, he told them, “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 gesture of appreciation, please each put $1,000 into my coffin when I die.” 
And so, it happened. His sons became a doctor, a financial planner and a lawyer, each successful financially. 
When their father died and they saw him in the coffin, they remembered his wish. 
First, the doctor stacked 10 crisp $100 bills onto the chest of the deceased. 
Next, the financial planner placed $1,000 there in 20 crisp $50 bills. 
Finally, it was the heartbroken lawyer’s turn. He slowly reached into his pocket, removed his checkbook, wrote a check for $3,000, put it ine his father’s coffin, and took the $2,000 cash.
The lawyer is now in Congress.
