He was surrounded by his two sons, wife and the servant. They were all waiting for his last breath and then this man opens his eyes with great difficulty.
He calls his elder son who eagerly rushes close to his face, hoping that his father will pass on entire inheritance to him. He then calls the younger son, who also does the same again hoping that he will get a part of his inheritance. He calls the servant as well, who hopes that the man will reward him before he dies and sits close to him.
The man gathers lot of energy and yells at everybody, " You fools! If all of you are sitting around, what will happen to my shop."
It is a fact that when closer to death, we remember things that impacted our lives the most. If we just spend our lives chasing our greed & desires, we will die dissatisfied like the shopkeeper. He couldn't think of anything else in his last moments but to be worried about his shop because that’s what he did all his life.
