The man who came from the
sky
One day, a man who made his
living by tricking people stopped a good woman on the road.
“Who are your?” asked the
woman. “'Where do you come from?”
“I fell from the sky,” the
man replied craftily.
“Oh really.” The woman's
face lit up. “Then maybe you have met my husband. He died last year,”
“Certainly I know him, but
he's not doing too well. He hasn't found a job yet and he hasn't got enough to
eat or enough clothes to wear”
“The poor man” cried the
woman. “if I give you some clothes, can you take them up to him?”
“No, I'm sorry but it's forbidden
to take clothes into paradise,” replied the man, “I might manage to smuggle
some money to him. Nobody would find a little money bag hidden in a pocket.”
“Oh, thank you, then please
take this. It's all my savings,” and the woman gave the man a little pile of
money. She was so grateful to him for doing her such a kind service.
“Well, who would have
thought,” she kept repeating, “that in paradise my husband would be lacking
ever, the bare necessities.”
