Edith, Sleep Easy
2011, 4 minutes
Money isn' everything
Edith lives in a one room flat, but is happy there. Her daughter visits her often but is worried about the lumpy bed her mother sleeps on. As a surprise birthday present she organizes a new bed and mattress for her mother, dumping the old one in a skip. Edith is utterly surprised and dismayed for, having heard about the financial loss suffered by a friend, Edith had withdrawn her precious life savings and stored them in the old mattress, reasoning it was safer to sleep on them than leave them in the Bank!
