Bill and Greg had worked as gravediggers for the New Horizons Cemetery for more than twenty years, but their feelings about the job couldn’t have been more different.
Bill hated digging graves. He detested manual labor, felt weirded out being around so many dead people, and frequently complained about his increased risk of skin cancer. He regretted not having finished high school, leaving him with few options to feed his family.
Greg, on the other hand, approached his job with a more optimistic demeanor. He responded to every one of Bill’s complaints the same way.
“Well, it beats digging ditches.”
