> When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch

>
>
> When he was close enough, he called out, 'Excuse me, where are we?'

> The man gestured, and the gate began to open.

>
>
> After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he
>came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had
>never been closed. There was no fence.

>
>
>
>
>
> As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a

>
>
>
>
>
> 'Excuse me!' he called to the man. 'Do you have any water?'

> 'How about my friend here?' the traveler gestured to the dog.

> 'There should be a bowl by the pump.'

> They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an
>old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.

>
>
>
> The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself,
>then he gave some to the dog.

> When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who

> 'What do you call this place?' the traveler asked.
>
>
>
>
>
>
> 'This is Heaven,' he answered.

>
>
>
>
>
> 'Well, that's confusing,' the traveler said. 'The man down the road
>said that was Heaven, too.'

>
>
>
> 'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope.
