Entrance Exam, an Underfable


Entrance Exam


Once upon a time a Soul arrived at Heaven’s gate. Saint Peter asked the Soul, “Do you deserve Heaven? And are you sure?” The Soul said, “I am sure that I deserve Heaven.” Saint Peter turned a dial to “seventy years”, pulled a lever, and the Soul fell through a trapdoor, down and out of sight.
Saint Peter asked the same questions of the next Soul, who said, “I am sure that I do not deserve Heaven.” Saint Peter turned the dial to “seven years”, pulled the lever, and the Soul fell down, to a different destination.
To Saint Peter’s questions the next Soul said, “I am not sure that I deserve Heaven.” Saint Peter said, “You too? Come on in.”


Moral: Don’t be too sure about yourself.
