Harry was on holiday in the Middle East with his wife, children and mother-in-law. During a visit to Jerusalem, his mother-in-law unexpectedly died.
With a death certificate in his hand, he was making preparations to fly his mother-in-laws body home for a proper burial.
The funeral director over the phone informed Harry this was possible, but that it would cost a lot of money. In fact, flying the mother-in-laws body home would cost $50,000.
The other option was for Harry to bury his mother-in-laws body in Jerusalem at a cost of just $100.
Harry thought long and hard and finally came to a conclusion.
I dont care how much it costs, I want to send the body back home. Its what I need to do.
The funeral director told Harry he must have loved and cared for his mother-in-law a lot.
No, thats not it at all, Harry said. You see, I know a case many years ago of a man who was buried in Jerusalem. On the third day, he rose from the dead. I cant take that chance with my mother-in-law.
