Fred Trump called his daughter Maryanne and sons Robert and Donald together before he sent them to off to college,
I feel it's my duty to provide you with the best possible education, and you do not owe me anything for that. However,
I want you to appreciate it. As a token, please each put $1,000 into my coffin when I die.
When their father's time had come, and they saw their him in the coffin, they remembered his wish.
First, Maryanne put 10 newly printed crisp $100 bills onto the chest of the deceased.
Then, Robert also put $1,000 there in 20 newly printed crisp $50 bills.
Finally, it was Donalds turn. He reached into his pocket, took out his checkbook, wrote a check for $3,000,
put it into his father's coffin, and took the $2,000 cash.
