"I must tell you my greatest secret."
His family members were all ears, and urged him to go on.

...‘Get married and start a family. Otherwise, no-one will be there to give you a glass of water to drink when you're on your deathbed.'

"And you know what?"
"What?" Whispered the fascinated members of his family.
