A wealthy, elderly banker had a strong urge to have grandchildren. He had two daughters and two sons and though married for several years they had never gratified his desire for grandchildren. At the annual family gathering on Thanksgiving Day, he chided them gently to bless his old age with grandchildren.
"I haven't given up hope," he said. "Yesterday, I went to the bank and set up a one hundred thousand dollar trust fund to give to the first couple to present me with a grandchild. Now, let us all bow our heads while I say a prayer of thanks."
When he looked up, he and his wife were the only ones left at the table.
