Heaven and Hell

Almost

everyone has a wish, but not many people make their

wishes come true. Once in ancient China a man had a strange wish, I
want to see the difference between heaven and hell before I die". He used
to say.
Then one day his wish came true. When he was visiting hell, he
saw tables full of delicious food, but everyone was hungry and angry.
They had food, but had to sit far from the table because they were forced
to use very long chopsticks. It was impossible to put any food into the
mouth.
When the man was visiting heaven, he was very surprised.
Everything looked the same: big tables full of delicious food, people
sitting far from the table, and using very long chopsticks to eat.
Do you know why? In heaven they were feeding one another.
