"Renting An Apartment"
A large family, with seven children, moved to a new city.
They were having a difficult time finding an apartment to live in.
Many apartments were large enough, but the landlords objected to large
families.
After several days of searching, the father asked the mother to take the
four younger
children to visit the cemetery, while he took the older three to find an
apartment.
After they had looked most of the morning they found a place that was just
right.
Then the landlord asked the usual question: "How many children do you have?"
The father answered with a deep sigh, "Seven... but four are with their dear
mother
in the cemetery."
The landlord, feeling sympathetic towards the man's situation, rented the
apartment to him.
