Capitalism at work

Ankit found out that once you are hundred years old you die. And he really worried about it all the time.

Papa and Mummy tried explaining to him that hundred is far far away, but he would worry that it would only be one birthday away when he turned ninety nine.

So one such day, when Ankit was asking Mummy why does he have to die when he turns hundred, she told him he has to grow up and live a long life before he will turn hundred.

Mummy asked, "What do you want to do when you grow up"
Ankit said, "I want to grow up to be an astronaut or a scientist or a magician or a superhero"
Mummy, finding a nice opportunity to close the "death" discussion, said: "Why dont you become a scientist. Then you can find a way to stop people from dying when they turn hundred".
Ankit said: "Yes, I should do that. People will be so happy because they will not have to die any more"
After a pause, he added: "And I will be so so rich".
