Old John married younger woman Mary and had four children. Three were normal and doing usual. But the fourth Pappy was out of way, ugly, naughty and causing anxiety to John that Pappy was really not his son. John was on death bed and he decided to clarify that with Mary.

He asked, "Mary, with your hand on your heart, please tell me Pappy is my son."

Mary with her hand on heart announced, "John, my dear husband, Pappy is your son."

John died happily leaving vast wealth to Mary. Mary crossed her heart and prayed, "Thanks Jesus that he did not ask the same for three other children, and you know I would not have lied."
