    One day a cat died of natural causes and went to heaven. There he
    met the Lord Himself. The Lord said to the
    cat, "You have lived a good life and if       ,.     ,.
    there is any way I can make your stay        (^ \-~-/ ^)
    in heaven more comfortable, please           "         "
    let me  know."  The cat thought for         { {T} _ {T} }
    a moment and said, "Lord, all my life       ==_ .:Y:. _==
    I have lived with a poor family and had        `--^--'
    to sleep on a hard wooden floor."  The Lord
    stopped  the cat and said, "Say no more" and a wonderful, fluffy
    pillow appeared.
    
    A few days later six mice were killed in a tragic farming accident
    and  went to heaven. Again there was the Lord to greet them with
    the same offer.  The mice answered, "Lord, all of our lives we have
       _  _       been chased. We have had to  run from cats, dogs, and
      (o)(o)--.     even women with brooms. We are tired of running. Do
       \../ (  )      you think we could have roller skates so we don't
       m\/m--m'`--.   have to run anymore?" Instantly the Lord fitted
                    each mouse with a beautiful pair of roller skates.
    
    About a week later, the Lord stopped by to see the cat and found
    him snoozing on the pillow. The Lord gently woke the cat and asked,
    "How are things  for you since coming to heaven?" The cat stretched,
    yawned, and replied, "Lord, it is wonderful here.  Better than
    I could have ever expected. Especially those meals on wheels
    you've been sending by -- they are the best!!!"
