Just use your imagination. The man who invented it is a coffin maker, The man who bought it is a merchant who buys it to try and make a profit and the person who needs it buys it for a friend but he doesn't know he is close to death.

To be honest I think this question is more imaginative than logic

The man who bought was rich and bought it.....ok, but if he doesn't care what is the need `to buy it? The person who needs it, just buys it for the sake of it, so he "coincidently" buys it because he doesn't know he is close to death? Please improve this problem and explain clearly.
