Old Emanuel dies. All of his life he'd been dealing in second-hand cuff links and never got rich as a result. But one month after Emanuel's death, his widow Leah gets a shock, and surprise, when 3 cheques arrive in the morning's post - one cheque for each of the 3 life assurance policies Emanuel had taken out without her knowing. She adds up the 3 cheques and, Oy Veh, she's rich – they total more than $175,000. She immediately phones her daughter.
"Suzy," she says, "your dear father, God bless his soul, worked long and hard all his life to provide for us. We lived poor but contented. But now, just when we get some real money, Emanuel is not around to enjoy any of it."
