THE TWO DIFFICULT OPTIONS!!!

There was this man, a coffin producer. At a time, a man paid some amount of money to him for a coffin to bury his late father. But his younger brother who lived abroad bought a golden casket and brought it as he came down home for the burial ceremony. And so the man went to meet the coffin producer to refund his money to him as it could no longer be useful. But he told the man that he had used the money. He advised the man to wait for another of his brother or sister to die so that he could used it for the burial.

The man became very angry. He told him that he must collect his money back. Anytime he comes to demands for his money, the coffin producer would either hide himself inside one of the coffins or plead to him to excise patient with him. The creditor became angry with his delay tactics and he involved the police.

Now the coffin producer saw a police van coming towards his workshop from afar, he quickly hid himself inside one of the coffins! When they got to the shop, he wasn't there. The police decided to carry all the coffins to the station so that when he returns he would come down to the station.

But as they try to carry the first one, it was very heavy!

The police then opened it.Inside was the coffin producer!

He held his breadth as if he was dead!

The police suggested that he should be taken to the cemetery for burial. When they got there, the police dug the grave. But as they were about to carry the coffin into the grave, he opened his eyes and said, "Why is it you the police have no respect for the dead?

I am dead and that is all! Why can't you go away and let my family members come to bury me?"

And the police said, "Here are the two options before you now. If you insist that you are dead, then let us bury you as it should. But if you insist that you are still alive, then just stand up and let us handcuffs your hands and feet and take you to the station and from there to the court which we believed will sentence you to the real death which you sort for". 

And the coffin producer said, "Officers, please; l believed we can still settle this matter without the two draconian options! I will pay him his money in double and settle you officers. Look at my knees on the ground!

We only say that we are dead or that we are going to die or that we are not afraid of death when death is a trillion of miles away from us and not when death is close by looking at us in the face like as it is looking at me now!

Please, l beg!"
