The old man had been confiding in a select few that he was about to make his last will.
All were intrigued at the sudden appearance of a box, chained and padlocked to his cot. His sons were certain it contained the gold bars he had supposedly found while clearing the woods in the compound years ago. That was the only property he had to bequeath.
Everyone in the family vied with one another to please him.
When he died years later, there was a broad grin on his face.
The box contained a couple of bricks.
