（单词翻译:单击）

A man died and was taken to his place of eternal torment¹ by the devil.

As he passed sulfurous pits and shrieking² sinners, he saw a man he recognized as a lawyer making love to a beautiful woman.

"That's not fair," he complained. "I face torment for all eternity³, and that lawyer gets to spend it making love to a beautiful woman."

"Shut up!" barked the devil, jabbing the man with his pitchfork. "Who are you to question her punishment?"
