One rich man died, and, finding himself in front of the gates of heaven, he knocked and asked to be let in. The Apostle Peter opened it to him and asked what he wanted. The rich man replied:
— I would like a luxury room with a good view of the earth, my favorite dishes every day and the latest newspaper.
Peter began to object, but when the rich man began to show impatience, he took him to a luxury room, brought him his favorite dishes and the latest newspaper, turned around again and said:
- In a thousand years I will return! - and closed the door behind him.
After a thousand years, he returned and looked through the door window.
- Well, finally you are here! - exclaimed the rich man. - This paradise is simply terrible!
Peter shook his head.
“You’re wrong,” he said. - It's hell here.
