Nobody Died This Week
IllustrationStory★★★★MONEY cannot bring satisfaction. It is like the man who said,
“Last month my aunt died and left me $25,000. Last week, my
brother died and left me $38,000. I am so depressed.”
His good friend said, “Why are you depressed?”
He said, “Because this week, nobody died.”
The point
A darkly humorous story of a man whose only satisfaction comes from inheritance windfalls, revealing the hollowness and cruelty of greed.
