Three Friends' Funerals

（单词翻译:单击）

Three good friends were driving along on the highway one Saturday: a doctor, a teacher, and a lawyer. All of a sudden, a brand-new SUV（运动型多功能车） cut them off. In an attempt to miss the shiny big vehicle, the driver swerved1（转弯） to the left and hit the median. The car flipped2 several times and all three friends died instantly.

They all found themselves in line waiting to get into Heaven. The doctor asked the others, "Hey, what do you all want people to say at your funeral? I want them to say, 'She was a great doctor, and she never let down any of her patients.'"

The teacher said, "I want people to remember me as a great educator, so I would want to hear people say, 'He was a wonderful teacher, a great role model for children, and he changed countless3 lives throughout his career.'"

Then the lawyer said, "I'd like people to say, 'Look! He's moving!'"
