Another story for another day.
A friend of mine sent me a story.
A man and his dog were walking along a road. Even as he was enjoying the scenery, suddenly he realised that he is no more alive but is dying. He experienced that Death has overtaken him and also the dog walking beside him. He was walking a long distance and wondered where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a mansion with high, white wall with magnificent arch made of pearls and gate made from fine marble glowing in the sunlight and the road that lead to the mansion paved with pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw one with head bent and eyes sparkling with eager attention.
When the man with dog was close, he asked, 'Excuse me, where are we?' The attendant answered with a wink, 'This is Heaven, sir'. The man and his dog were thirsty after long walk. They asked for some water and the attendant replied, 'Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up.' The man then asked, 'Can my friend, the dog come in, too?' The attended said, 'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.'
Disappointed the man turned back and continued to walk the opposite direction,with his dog.
After long difficult walk, he came to a hard and difficult road which lead to a lonely farm house, with no fences or doors ever open and never closed.
As he approached the gate, he saw an old man inside, leaning on the desk and reading a book. Approaching him the man with the dog said, 'Excuse me!' Can I have some water?' The old man replied 'Sure there is water, come on in.' The man a asked, 'How about my friend here?' The old man gestured and said, 'There should be a bowl by the pump. Pick it up and let the dog have its share'. The man filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself and gave some in the bowl to the dog.
Being satisfied he and the dog walked toward the man and asked, 'What do you call this place?'. 'This is Heaven,' the old man answered. 'Well, that is strange ! 'The man down the road also said that his place was also a Heaven'. The old Man looked up and asked, 'Oh, you mean the place with marble walls, pearly gates on the gold paved street ?No, That is hell.' Surmised the man asked, 'Does it not make you angry seeing that they use your name without your permission?'
The old me said, 'No, we're just happy that they take those inside who desert their friends behind.'
