> *He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him

>
>
> *After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along

>
> *When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate

> *When he was close enough, he called out, 'Excuse me,
> where are we?' *
> *'This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered. *
>
> *'Wow! Would you happen to have some water?' the
> man asked. *
>
> *'Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some

>
> *The man gestured, and the gate began to open. *
>
> *'Can my friend,' gesturing toward his dog,
> 'come in, too?' the traveler asked. *
>
> *'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.' *

>
> *The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the
> road and continued
> the way he had been going with his dog. *
>
> *After another long walk, and at the top of another long

> dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it
> had never been closed. There was no fence. *
>
> *As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning
> against a tree and reading a book. *
>
> *'Excuse me!' he called to the man. 'Do you
> have any water?' *
>
> *'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in.' *
>
> *'How about my friend here?' the traveler gestured
> to the dog. *
>
> *'There should be a bowl by the pump.' *
>
> *They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an
> old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. *
>
> *The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink
> himself, then he gave some to the dog. *
>
> *When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree. *
>
> *'What do you call this place?' the traveler asked.

> *'This is Heaven,' he answered. *
>
> *'Well, that's confusing,' the traveler said.
> 'The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.' *
>
> *'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and
> pearly gates? Nope.
> That's hell.' *
>
> *'Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name
> like that?' *
>
> *'No, we're just happy that they screen out the
> folks who would leave their best friends behind.' *
>
> *Soooo .. *

> *Maybe this will explain. *

> *When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch,

> *When you have nothing to say, but still want to keep
