There was a man who died and went to heaven. An Angel met him at the pearly gates.
— You will need to score 100 points to pass through. Tell me about all your good actions that you’ve committed on earth, and I will tell you how many points you scored.
— Okay, — the man replied, — I lived with my wife for fifty years and never cheated on her, even in my thoughts.
— Great! — the Angel exclaimed. — You get three points!
— Just three?! — the man was astonished. — Alright. I went to church, tithed, and helped the poor all my life.
— Fantastic! — the Angel exclaimed. — You deserve two more points.
— Just two?!! — the man was surprised. — I opened a free soup kitchen and worked in a nursing home.
— That’s praiseworthy! You’ve earned four more points, — the Angel said.
— Four?!! — the man was desperate. — In this case, you can get into the paradise only by God’s grace!!!
— Welcome to the Heaven!
