Mother Teresa died and went to heaven.

God greets her at the Pearly Gates."Are you hungry, Mother Teresa?" says God.

"I could eat," Mother Teresa replies.

So God opens a can of tuna and reaches for a chunk¹ of rye bread and they share it.

While eating this humble² meal, Mother Teresa looks down into Hell and sees the inhabitants devouring³ huge steaks, lobsters⁴, pheasants, pastries⁵ and wines. Curious, but deeply trusting, she remains⁶ quiet.

The next day God again invites her to join Him for a meal.

Again, it is tuna and rye bread.

Once again, Mother Teresa can see the denizens⁷ of Hell enjoying caviar, champagne⁸, lamb, truffles and chocolates.

Still she says nothing.

The following day, mealtime arrives and another can of tuna is opened.

She can't contain herself any longer. Meekly⁹, she says: "God, I am grateful to be in heaven with You as a reward for the pious¹⁰, obedient life I led. But here in heaven all I get to eat is tuna and a piece of rye bread, and in the Other Place they eat like emperors and kings! I just don't understand."

God sighs. "Let's be honest," He says. "For just two people, does it pay to cook?"
