The first man arrives back with 10 cherries. Saint Peter says: now I want you to put them all in your mouth without laughing once. If you can do that, you may go into heaven.

Well, says the man, I just saw the other guy and he had 10 cocunuts with him!

第4个故事
A young couple lived next to an elderly pair, and they had grown very fond of their neighbors. Every Sunday, without fail, they would visit, sharing coffee and conversation. One thing they noticed during these visits was that the elderly woman always brought her coffee jar to her husband for him to open.
Wanting to be helpful, the young man secretly gifted the elderly lady a gadget that would make opening jars easier, thinking it would save her the trouble. He showed her how to use it, certain she would appreciate the small convenience.
But the following Sunday, to their surprise, she once again handed the jar to her husband to open. Had she forgotten about the gadget? The young couple, puzzled, waited for a moment to be alone with her and gently asked why she hadnt used it.
Her response left them speechless. "Oh, I can open it myself, even without the gadget," she said with a smile. "But I let him do it because it makes him feel strong, like hes still the man of the house. It reminds him that I still need him, just as much as always. We don’t have many years left together, and preserving that feeling of togetherness is more important than the jar."
The young couple realized then the depth of her wisdom.
一对年轻夫妇住在一对年长的夫妻旁边，他们对这对老年邻居非常喜爱。每个星期天，他们都会去拜访，喝咖啡聊天。每次拜访时，年轻夫妇注意到，老年妇女总是把她的咖啡罐递给她的丈夫让他打开。
为了帮忙，年轻男子悄悄送给老年妇女一个小工具，可以让她轻松打开罐子，想着这样可以省去她的麻烦。他还教她怎样使用这个工具，确信她会感激这点小便利。
然而，第二个星期天，令他们惊讶的是，老年妇女又一次把罐子递给她的丈夫打开。她忘了那个工具吗？年轻夫妇感到困惑，等到有机会和她单独相处时，轻声问她为什么没有使用那个工具。
她的回答让他们哑口无言。“哦，即使没有那个工具，我自己也能打开它，”她微笑着说，“但我让他来做，因为这让他觉得自己依然强壮，还是家里的顶梁柱。这提醒他，我仍然需要他，就像过去一样。我们在一起的时光已经不多了，维持这种一起走过的感觉，比打开罐子更重要。”
年轻夫妇这时才明白了她的智慧深意。
