Abe is on holiday in Israel with his wife, children and mother-in-law.
Sadly, while they are visiting Jerusalem, Abe's mother-in-law dies.
Abe goes to the British Embassy with her death certificate in his hand to make arrangements to send her body back to the UK for burial.
As soon as the Embassy official realizes that it’s Abe’s mother-in-law who has died, he tells Abe that it’s very expensive to send a body back to the UK.
"It could cost as much as £2,000," he says, "so in most cases, the family decide to bury the body here in Israel because this only costs £100."
But Abe gets agitated, "I don't care how much it costs to send her body back to the UK, that's what I want to do. OK?"
"OK," says the official, "calm down. We’ll do it.
You must have loved your mother-in-law a lot, considering the price difference."
"No, that’s not the reason," says Abe, "it’s just that I know of a case of someone who was buried here in Jerusalem many, many years ago and on the 3rd day he arose from the dead.
I just don’t want to take that chance."
