A young man fell into a state of coma¹, but recovered before his friends had buried him. One of them asked what it felt like to be dead.

"Dead!" he exclaimed². "I wasn't dead. And I knew I wasn't, because my feet were cold and I was hungry."

"But how did that make you sure?"

"Well, I knew that if I were in heaven I shouldn't be hungry, and if I was in the other place my feet wouldn't be cold."

一个年轻人昏死了过去，但是当他的朋友们要掩埋他的时候却又苏醒过来。他的一个朋友问他死的感觉是怎样的。

“死！”他喊道“我并没有死，我知道我没死，因为我的脚是凉的，而我又很饿。”

“你怎么能肯定你没死？”

“当然哪，我知道如果我上了天堂，我就不会觉得饿；如果我下到地狱，那我的脚就不会是凉的了。”
