Two men came to Rabbi Moshe Yitzchak of Ponovezh. They had both bought plots in the cemetery, and each wanted the better of the two. After they had argued back and forth for some time, Rabbi Moshe Yitzchak rendered his verdict: “Whoever dies first gets the better plot.” Never again did they argue the issue.
