55. Heaven and
Hell
Once a rich merchant died
of a severe disease. He used to oppress the people. He was drawn by an angel to
heaven. He found the place rather calm with clement weather but the monotonous
merchant felt weird to find no newspaper, no hustle-bustle of market and hotel.
He then requested the angel to take him to hell, where he found everything, he
missed in paradise. There was chaos all around. People were making fuss and
pandemonium. All these things enthralled the merchant very much and he decided
to stay there. So the angel left him in hell. As soon as the angel vanished,
the door of hell was shut. All dwellers started behaving outrageously and
pouncing upon him. He was taken to hot oil to fry and to burn. He was really
petrified of these but could not avoid and get rid of what was going with him.
