As a couple who have been married for 45 years discuss their advanced age, the conversation moves on to their mortality. From there the conversation covers many topics, but finally settles on the Bible, and the understanding that they can`t take their wealth with them when they depart this life. The husband, who is very adventuresome, and always eager to try something different, tells his bride that he`s going to take a good sum of money, and set it in the attic, so that, whichever one of them should pass on first, can attempt to take the treasure with them as they pass thru the attic, on the way to meet their Lord.
Time passes and the old couple forget about the money stashed in the attic, as they live out their days together, older and slower, but still much in love and dedicated to each other.
Finally after several years pass, the husband passes on to his reward ahead of his blushing bride. The widow is lost without her husband, and the preparations, and the funeral pass in a blur, as she deals with her loss, and trys to stay strong as she deals with all the family and friends who come to pay their respects.
Seemingly as quickly as all the loved ones descend on her, they all seem to disappear, and before she knows it, she`s alone in the house she has lived with her husband in. She is tired, and still hurts from her loss, and she sits back, and reflects on her life with her loving husband. Before very long, she recalls the treasure her husband had set in the attic, and even though she know`s it not likely, she makes her way upstairs to check and see if the money has been taken.
As she reaches the place the money had been left, she see`s that it is still there, and she shakes her head as she softly clucks her tongue and says to herself: "I told that old fool he`d better put that in the basement."
