THE REPENTANT HORSE

  

    An alligator dreamed with a dragon with his opened mouth in front of him and entered. Into the mouth of the dragon, he saw the way to the hell and the way to the heaven, but woke before following one of the ways. The alligator repented of his sins and opened a church in the forest.

    Several animals heard about the alligator’s vision, came to his church and formed a line to enter the opened mouth. A horse waited for hours in line, but when he entered the mouth he didn’t saw any way. And then the horse turned to leave, saying:

    -If God still didn’t decide about my way after death, it means that I will live for a very long time!

    But the alligator closed his mouth quickly, champed and swallowed the horse, answering:

    -Sometimes what your mind deduces doesn’t happen in reality!
