"Sidney thought of everything," she told them.  "Just before he died,
Sidney called me to his bedside.  He handed me three envelopes.
`Tillie,' he told me, 'I have put all my last wishes in these three
envelopes. After I am dead, please open them and do exactly as I have
instructed. Then I can rest in peace'."

"What was in the envelopes?" her friends asked.

"The first envelope contained $5,000 with a note, 'Please use this money
to buy a nice casket.'  So I bought a beautiful mahogany casket with
such a comfortable lining that I know Sidney is resting very
comfortably.

"The second envelope contained $10,000 with a note, 'Please use this for
a nice funeral.'  I arranged Sidney a very dignified funeral and bought
all his favorite foods for everyone attending."

"And the third envelope?" asked her friends.

"The third envelope contained $25,000 with a note, 'Please use this to
buy a nice stone.'

Holding her hand in the air, Tillie said, "So, do you like my stone?"
showing off her ten carat diamond ring.
