English Original
The owner of a grocery store lay on his deathbed. His entire family had gathered in the bedroom, weeping and wailing.
Finally, the old man looked at them with a worried expression, as if he wanted to speak. His wife and children all leaned in to hear his words.
"Is Mama here?" he asked in a feeble voice.
"Yes," answered his wife.
"Is the whole family here?" he said.
"Yes," replied his eldest son.
This made him so anxious that he suddenly struggled to shout, "Then who is in the shop to take care of it?"
