"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.
