THE WILL(Заповіт)

Mr. Conran was a very rich and mean man. When he died he had 20 million pounds in the bank. He made all his money by selling very sticky sweets. His nickname was "The Dentist's Friend".

Mrs. Conran died ten years before. Mr. Conran had only two relatives, his sons Joseph and Oliver. They were identical twins. They were so alike that nobody could tell them apart. Not even their father.

Joseph and Oliver left home when they were 20 years old, and they had never been back.

When the twin brothers heard about their father's death, they went to his house right away. Their father's lawyer, Ms. Madoc, was there to meet them.

She said, "Come into the library. I must read you your father's will".

They all went into the library and sat down. Ms. Madoc took a piece of paper from the desk.

She said, "Your father made a very short will. It is in three parts. Part one says: I leave all my money to my son Oliver".

The lawyer turned to the twin brothers and asked, "So which one of you is Oliver?"

Both of the sons said, "I am. I'm Oliver!"

Ms. Madoc was very angry, "One of you must be a liar".

The twins argued and argued. Each called the other a liar and a cheat. Ms. Madoc pulled them apart.

She said, "I think I'd better read you the second part of your father's will. It says: If there is any argument about which son is a real Oliver, then I leave all my money to Joseph!"

Once again the lawyer turned to the twins and asked, "Which one of you is Joseph?"

"I am!" cried the two sons with one voice.

The lawyer got very cross. She banged the desk with her fist and said, "But a minute ago you both said you were Oliver!"

They argued and argued for nearly an hour. Both twins tried to prove he was the real Joseph. But Ms. Madoc called them both liars.

At last she said, "I think I must read you the third and the final part of your father's will. It says: If both my sons turn out to be liars, then I leave all my money to Ms. Madoc, my faithful lawyer".

So the twins left the house without a penny. The clever will had shown them both to be liars. But it wasn't their father who tricked them. It was Ms. Madoc. Mr. Conran never made a will.
