A family in Southern India was puzzled when the coffin of their dead
mother arrived from USA. It was sent by one of the daughters. The
corpse was tightly squeezed inside the coffin, with no space left in
it! When they opened the lid, they found a letter on top, which read
as follows:
Dear brothers and sisters,
I am sending our mother's body to you, since it was her wish that she
should be cremated in the compound of our ancestral home in
Andhra.Sorry,I could not come along, as all of my paid leaves are
consumed. You will find inside the coffin, under Amma's body, 12 cans
of cheese, 10 packets of chocolates and 5 packets of Badam. Please
divide these among all of you. On Amma's feet, you will find a new pair
of Reebok shoes (size 10) for Mohan. Also, there are 2 pairs of shoes
for Radha's and Lakshmi's sons.Hope the sizes are correct. Amma is
wearing 6 American T-Shirts. The large size is for Mohan and the others
for my nephews. Just distribute them among yourselves. The 2 new jeans
that Amma is wearing are for the boys. The Swiss watch that Rema wanted
is on Amma's left wrist. Shanta Aunty, Amma is wearing the necklace,
earrings and ring that you asked for. Please take them. The 6 white
cotton socks that Amma is wearing must be divided among my teenage
nephews. Please distribute all these uniformly and if anything more is
required, let me know, since our Appa is also not keeping well nowadays.
