When Michael Ma died, his three best friends went to his funeral (葬礼). They stood for a moment ,
looking down into the grave (坟墓) of their friend. "He was a good friend," the first person said. " He
was generous (慷慨的) and kind. Let's give him some money to use in heaven(天堂). " The other
two friends agreed. They thought this was a good idea.
The first friend took his wallet out of his pocket, opened it and took out a $ 100 bill. Then he threw
it into the grave.
The second friend did not want the other two to think he was mean(吝啬的 ) , so he also took out
his wallet. "You're right," he said, "He always helped his friends. He should have everything he needs in
his next life. " And with these words, he also threw a hundred dollar bill into the grave.
The third man looked at the other two, and thought carefully for several minutes. He did not want
them to think he was mean, but he really did hate spending money.
At last, he bent clown, took the two hundred dollar bills out of the grave and put them in his pocket.
Then he wrote a check(支票) for three hundred dollars. He then threw the check into the grave. " I
haven't got any change , " he said," but that check is for three hundred dollars , so I've given the same
as you. "
