An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the
world. So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to china.
On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he
noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read
"$10,000 per call".
The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what
the telephone was used for.The priest replied that it was a direct line
to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God.
The American thanked the priest and went along his way.
Next stop was in Japan. There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the
same golden telephone with the same sign under it. He wondered if this
was the same kind of telephone he saw in china and he asked a nearby
nun
what its purpose was. She told him that it was a direct line to heaven
and that for $10,000he could talk to God. "O.K., thank you," said the
American.
He then travelled to pakistan , srilanka, russia , Germany & France.
In every church he saw the same golden telephone with the same "$10,000
per call" sign under it.
The American, upon leaving Vermont decided to travel to up to India to
see if Indians had the same phone. He arrived in India, and again, in
the first church he entered, there was the same golden telephone, but
this time the sign under it read "One Rupee per
call." The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the
sign.
"Father, I've travelled all over World and I've seen this same golden
telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to
Heaven,
but in the US the price was $10,000 per call. Why is it so cheap here?"
The priest smiled and answered, "You're in India now, son - it's a
local call".
KEEP SMILING!!
If you are proud to be an Indian pass this on!!
God Bless U!!
