CAN YOU TAKE IT WITH YOU?
Rating: PG
Quality: (Quality: Unrated)
There once was a rich man who was near death. He was very grieved because he
had worked so hard for his money and he wanted to be able to take it with
him to heaven. So he began to pray that he might be able to take some of his
wealth with him.
An angel hears his plea and appears to him. "Sorry, but you can't take your
wealth with you." The man implores the angel to speak to God to see if He
might bend the rules.
The man continues to pray that his wealth could follow him. The angel
reappears and informs the man that God has decided to allow him to take one
suitcase with him. Overjoyed, the man gathers his largest suitcase and fills
it with pure gold bars and places it beside his bed.
Soon afterward the man dies and shows up at the Gates of Heaven to greet St.
Peter. St. Peter seeing the suitcase says, "Hold on, you can't bring that in
here!"
The man explains to St. Peter that he has permission and asks him to verify
his story with the Lord. Sure enough, St. Peter checks and comes back
saying, "You're right. You are allowed one carry-on bag, but I'm supposed to
check its contents before letting it through."
St. Peter opens the suitcase, curious to inspect the worldly items that the
man found too precious to leave behind and exclaims,
"YOU BROUGHT PAVEMENT?!!!"
