A cat died and
went to Heaven. God met her at the gates and said, 'You have been a good cat all
these years. Anything you want is yours for the asking.'
The cat
thought for a minute and then said, 'All my life I lived on a farm and slept on
hard wooden floors. I would like a real fluffy pillow to sleep on.'
God said, 'Say no
more.' Instantly the cat had a huge fluffy pillow.
A few days later,
six mice were killed in an accident and they all went to Heaven together. God
met the mice at the gates with the same offer that He made to the cat
The mice said,
'Well, we have had to run all of our lives: from cats, dogs, and even people
with brooms! If we could just have some little roller skates, we would not have
to run again.'
God answered, 'It is done.' All the mice had beautiful little
roller skates.
About a week
later, God decided to check on the cat.. He found her sound asleep on her fluffy
pillow. God gently awakened the cat and asked, 'Is everything okay? How have you
been doing? Are you happy?'
The cat replied,
'Oh, it is WONDERFUL. I have never been so happy in my life. The pillow is so
fluffy, and those little Meals on Wheels you have been sending over are
delicious!'
