Heaven and Hell

A man, his horse and his dog were traveling down a road. When they were passing by a gigantic tree, a bolt of lightning struck and they all fell dead on the spot.

But the man did not realize that he had already left this world, so he went on walking with his two animals; sometimes the dead take time to understand their new condition...

The journey was very long, uphill, the sun was strong and they were covered in sweat and very thirsty. They were desperately in need of water. At a bend in the road they spotted a magnificent gateway, all in marble, which led to a square paved with blocks of gold and with a fountain in the center that spouted forth crystalline water.

The traveler went up to the man guarding the gate.

“Good morning.”

“Good morning,” answered the man.

“What is this beautiful place?”

“This is heaven.”

“How good to have reached heaven, we’re ever so thirsty.”

“You can come in and drink all you want.”

And the guard pointed to the fountain.

“My horse and my dog are thirsty too.”

“So sorry, but animals aren’t allowed in here.”

The man was very disappointed because his thirst was great, but he could not drink alone; he thanked the man and went on his way. After traveling a lot, they arrived exhausted at a farm whose entrance was marked with an old doorway that opened onto a tree-lined dirt road.

A man was lying down in the shadow of one of the trees, his head covered with a hat, perhaps asleep.

“Good morning,” said the traveler.

The man nodded his head.

“We are very thirsty - me, my horse and my dog.”

“There is a spring over in those stones,” said the man, pointing to the spot. “Drink as much as you like.”

The man, the horse and the dog went to the spring and quenched their thirst. Then the traveler went back to thank the man.

“By the way, what’s this place called?”

“Heaven.”

“Heaven? But the guard at the marble gate back there said that was heaven!”

“That’s not heaven, that’s hell.”

The traveler was puzzled.

“You’ve got to stop this! All this false information must cause enormous confusion!”

The man smiled:

“Not at all. As a matter of fact they do us a great favor. Because over there stay all those who are even capable of abandoning their best friends...”

Nebo a peklo     

    
Muž so svojím kôňom a psom putovali pozdĺž cesty.
Keď prechádzali popri obrovskom strome udrel blesk a oni všetci na mieste ostali mrtví.

 Lež muž si neuvedomil, že už opustil tento svet a tak pokračoval ďalej v  prechádzke aj so svojimi dvoma zvieratami; niekedy smrť poskytne čas nato aby zomreli pochopili svoj nový stav ...
Cesta bola veľmi dlhá, do kopca, slnko silne pálilo a všetci boli spotení a veľmi smädní.  Zúfalo potrebovali vodu.
V zákrute cesty zbadali nádhernú bránu , celú z mramora, ktorá viedla k štvorcu  vydláždenému zlatými kameňmi s fontánou v strede z ktorej striekala kryštaľová voda.

Muž pristúpil k mužovi, ktorý strážil bránu.
"Dobré ráno."
"Dobré ráno," odpovedal muž.
"Čo je to za krásne miesto?"
"To je nebo."
"Ako dobre, že sme dorazili do neba, my sme stále tak smädní."
"Môžete prísť bližšie a napiť sa koľko chcete."
Strážnik ukázal na  fontánu.
"Môj kôň a pes sú tiež smädní."
"Ľutujem ale zvieratám sa tu nepovoľuje vstup."

Muž bol veľmi sklamaný, pretože mal veľký smäd  ale nemohol piť sám preto sa poďakoval strážnikovi a šiel svojou cestou.
Po dlhej ceste vyčerpaní dorazili k farme ktorej vchod bol orámovaný starou drevenou bránou, ktoré sa otvárali k stromami olemovanej špinavej ceste.
V tieni jedného zo stromov ležal muž s hlavou prikrytou klobúkom akoby spal.
"Dobré ráno," pozdravil cestovateľ.
Muž iba přikývl mu hlavou.
"Sme veľmi smädní - já, môj kôň a môj pes."

"Tam je pramienok za týmito kameňmi," povedal muž, ukazujúc na to mieste.  "
Napite sa koľko chcete."

 Muž, kôň a pes prišli k pramienku a uhásili svoj smäd.
Potom sa cestovateľ vrátil a poďakoval mužovi.
"Mimochodom ako sa volá toto miesto?" "Nebo".
"Nebo?
Ale strážnik pri mramorovej bráne nám povedal, že tam je nebo! "
"To nebolo nebo ale peklo."
Cestovateľ bol zmätený.
"Máli by ste to zastaviť!
Všetky tieto nepravdivé informácie, musia vyvolať obrovský zmätok! "
Muž sa usmial:
"Vôbec nie.
V skutočnosti nám robia veľkú láskavosť.
” Pretože tam zostávajú všetci, ktorí sú schopní sa vzdať svojich najlepších priateľov....."
