BILLIONAIRE ROPE & HAMMER: A STORY

I passed by a shop of my friend that was relatively new one and I had no previous knowledge. about it
I stopped for a while and congratulated his son who was in the shop at that time. Then I proceeded further and came to stay for a while on the old shop where my friend was present. I congratulated him for having now two shops. He thanked me and told me that now I will have more account to get audit. More headache.

Then he narrated me a story which is though a fiction but interesting enough.

There was a billionaire who had no heirs. When he got seriously ill He called his Attorney to write his will to be implemented on his (billionaire’s) death. The attorney visited the billionaire to write the will.
The billionaire dictated that upon his death, two graves, side by side should be prepared. In one grave he may be buried and in next grave - That person should be buried for 24 hours only; who wants my legacy. It was a very queer WILL. However this was to be implemented.

As the billionaire was a very rich and famous man the people came in great numbers to burry his dead body. They saw the other grave ready besides; waiting for somebody else & the attorney announced the will of the dead person. Nobody came forward to get buried for 24 hours. And were waiting to see what happens.

A pauper was passing by the grave yard who noticed unusual crowed at some grave. He thought may be there is somebody like minister or king is being buried – So he decided to see what the crowed was up to. He reached there and saw that a dead body was lowered in a grave and another was empty waiting for somebody.

This pauper had a hammer and a rope with him and nothing else. He inquired from the crowed what was the problem and for whom were they waiting. There up on he learnt the will of the dead man. This pauper was so enthusiast that he shouted I will accept to lye down in the empty grave for 24 hours.

Lo’ the problem was solved. And the pauper in his imagination was flourishing with good luck. & The pauper was buried.

After 24 hours he was brought alive from the grave. As soon as he got out the people around him commenced congratulating him for becoming billionaire over night but he started racing as if he got out of big trouble. The people were surprised at his such a behavior. They catch hold of him to know the reason of his running away.

He replied: “ Soon upon by burial – the angles came to me and asked ‘How did I earn this rope?’ It took me about half time to get my account audited for the rope and similar half time in clearing account of my earning the hammer – If only rope and hammer took 24 hours to get clearance. How much time will be required to get audited an account consisting of billions of .rupees? – Why should I get involved for the time of auditing of billions of rupees when I can get free in 24 hours for the audit of account of my rope and hammer. ?
