Once upon a time, a man was travelling with his horse and his dog. When they passed by a huge tree, lightning struck and all three were killed.
Not realising that they was dead, their souls continued the journey. They walked up a hill and they were tired and thirsty. Soon, they reached a beautiful place which had a marble gateway and fountain sprouting crystal clear water.
“Good morning” the traveller greeted the guard at the gateway.
“Good morning,” he replied.
“What place is this?”
“This is Heaven.”
“It’s beautiful. I am glad to come here. Can I have a drink?”
“Sure, help yourself.”
But when the traveller moved forward with his horse and dog, the guard stopped him, saying, “Sorry, animals are not allowed in here.”
The traveller was very mcuh disappointed. For although he was very thirsty, he did not want to drink without his companions. They decided to move on.
Some distance further uphill, they came upon another gateway, plain looking compared to the marble one. It led to a rocky path lined with trees. A man there was resting beneath a tree, apparently a sleep.
“Good morning,” the traveller greeted him.
He nodded, not saying a word.
“Is there a place we can get a drink?” the traveller asked. “My horse, my dog and I are very thirsty.”
“There is a stream behind those rocks over there,” the man pointed.
They went ahead and refreshed themselves. They returned and thanked the man. The traveller asked, “By the way, what place is this?”
“This is Heaven,” the man replied.
The traveller was surprised. “But the guard at the marble gateway said that was Heaven.”
“Don’t let him fool you,” the man said. “That place is Hell.”
“Well, I was nearly fooled,” the traveller said. “You should not allow the people there to abuse your name. You know, wrong information can lead to a lot of confusion.”
“Actually, they are doing us a great favour,” the man at Heaven’s gate said. “Because the people who stay on in Hell have proved that they are willing to abandon their friends.”

People don't know understand to come in the heaven and hell. in the story is the man don't think in the heaven an hell , he ask the other people unit he understand which ways for heaven . so we must know and tried until arrived to heaven and don't go in the hell .
every things that we earn are the reward of being succesfull in the examinations that god sends for us
reaching heaven is not as easy as we think we must be patient & pass the problems when we lose we mustn't become disappointed we should continue our way to reach the goal.
we should never leave our friends even in a hard situation.friendship is like a river that must be flowing forever.if it stops moving life will be impossible.we must share our sorrow and gladnees with our friends.the real prosperity is being with friends.
One of the criteria that are important to find the road is generous disposition I mean in the material way we have to renounce our claim and never forget we could be a one of the man’s friend!!!
But I think that is too hard to do it as well because it depends on our beliefs and personality and the result of it effect on our predestination plus the society.
we read a story that was a descousion between anishtain and his professor . at the end anishtain prove to his professor that there is no any thing that named evil but evil is "not existence of god "
and we think that the hill is the place of person that forget their God.
hello my dear teacher
asg said: one of the way can send us to the hell is bad freind that they can learn us to be and to do bad work.
if our freinds to be good it cuse that we learen more about god .
hello my dear teacher
we should never leave our friends even in a hard situation
