elderly man

    An elderly man lay dying in his bed. In death's agony, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite chocolate
    chip cookies wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed. Leaning against the wall,
    he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort forced himself down the stairs, gripping the
    railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs. With labored breath, he leaned against the door-frame, gazing into the kitchen.
    Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven:
    there, spread out upon waxed paper on the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favorite chocolate chip cookies.
    Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from his devoted wife, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?

    Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself toward the table, landing on his knees in a rumpled posture.
    His parched lips parted: the wondrous taste of the cookie was already in his mouth, seemingly bringing him back to life.
    The aged and withered hand trembled on its way to a
    cookie at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife......
    "Get Yer hands off them cakes ! " she said, "they're for the funeral."
