A Patel family in Gujarat was puzzled when the coffin
of their dead mother arrived from the US.

It was sent by one of the daughters.

The dead body was very tightly squeezed inside the
coffin, with no space left in it . When they opened
the lid , they found a letter on top................
which read as follows ::

Dear brothers and sisters,

I am sending our mother's body to you, since it was
her wish that she should be cremated in the compound
of our ancestral home in GUJARAT. Sorry, I could not
come along as all of my paid leave is consumed.

You will find inside the coffin, under Ba's body, 12
cans of cheese, 10 packets of chocolates and 8 packets
of Badam.

Please divide the same among all of you.

On Ba's feet you will find a new pair of Reebok
shoes(size 10) for Mohan.

There are also 2 pairs of shoes for Kala's and
Lakshmi's sons. Hope the sizes are correct. Ba is
wearing 6 American T-Shirts.The large size is for
Mohan.

Just distribute them among yourselves.

The 2 new Jeans that Ba's is wearing are for the boys.
The Swiss watch that Reema wanted is on Ba's left
wrist.

Shanta Aunty, Ba is wearing the necklace, earrings and
ring that you asked for.

Please take them off her.

The 6 white cotton socks that Ba is wearing must be
divided among my teenager nephews.

Please distribute all these uniformly and if anything
more is required let me know as Bapa is also not
feeling too well nowadays...

Your loving sister,
Radhika
