WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN

ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE

WAS A CAT THAT DIED.

WHEN SHE GOT TO HEAVEN,

GOD ASKED HER HOW SHE

LIKED BEING ON EARTH.

SHE TOLD THE LORD

THAT IT WAS AWFUL,

THAT SHE HAD TO SLEEP IN

COLD BLACK ALLEYS,

WHERE THERE WAS NO FOOD

AND LIFE WAS HARD.

GOD TOLD HER THAT HE WAS

SORRY IT HAD HAD TURNED OUT

THAT WAY BUT THAT HERE IN HEAVEN,

SHE WOULD BE HAPPY AND HE

WOULD GIVE HER THE MOST

COMFORTABLE, WARM PILLOW

TO SLEEP ON.

THE CAT LAY DOWN UPON THE

PILLOW AND WAS HAPPY. 

A FEW DAYS LATER,

ABOUT A DOZEN MICE CAME TO

HEAVEN TOGETHER AND GOD ASKED

THEM HOW THEY HAD LIKED EARTH.

THE EARTH WAS NO BETTER FOR THEM

THAN IT WAS THE CAT.

THEY EXPLAINED TO GOD

THAT IT WAS TOUGH AND EXHAUSTING

AND THEIR FEET WERE WORN OUT

FROM ALWAYS RUNNING FROM

CATS AND DOGS AND PEOPLE.

GOD FELT BAD FOR THE MICE AND

DECIDED TO GIVE THEM ROLLER SKATES. 

ONE DAY GOD SAW THE CAT AGAIN

AND ASKED HER HOW SHE LIKED HEAVEN.

SHE EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.

THE PILLOW HE GAVE HER

WAS THE MOST COMFORTABLE

PLACE THAT SHE HAD EVER SLEPT ON,

BUT EVEN BETTER THAN THE PILLOW

WAS THE MEALS ON WHEELS.
