How to Get to Heaven
Little Lucy went out into the garden and saw her pet
cat lying on the ground with its eyes shut and its legs
in the air. She fetched her Dad to look at Tiddles,
and on seeing the cat he said, as gently as he could,
"I'm afraid Tiddles is dead Lucy". "So why are his legs
sticking up in the air like that Daddy?" asked Lucy
as she fought back the tears. At a loss for something
to say the father replied, "Tiddles' legs are pointing
straight up in the air so that it will be easier for
Jesus to float down from heaven above and grab a leg
and lift Tiddles up to heaven".
Little Lucy seemed to take her cats death quite well.
However two days later when her father came home from
work Lucy had tears in her eyes and said, "Mummy almost
died this morning". Fearing something terrible had happened
the father shook the girl and shouted, "How do you mean
Lucy? "Well", mumbled Lucy, "soon after you left for
work this morning I saw mummy lying on the floor with
her legs in the air and she was shouting "Oh Jesus!!!
I'm coming, I'm coming!!!" and if it hadn't been for
the milkman holding her down she would definitely have
gone, Daddy".
