Once
upon a time there were two brothers. One brother was very mischievous, always
getting into trouble. The other brother, however, was very good. He was always
kind to animals, helped elderly neighbors, and led an exemplary
life.
As
time went on, the brothers stayed in touch but were never close. The evil
brother became a heavy drinker and a womanizer. The other brother was a devoted
husband and father and supported many charities.
One
day the evil brother died. Then, after a few years, the good brother passed
away. He went to heaven and was rewarded with a happy afterlife. One day he went
to God and asked, "Where is my brother? He died before me, but I have not seen
him here in heaven."
God
replied, "As you know, your brother led an evil life, so he is not spending
eternity here in heaven. He has been sent elsewhere."
"I'm
sorry to hear that," the good brother replied. "But I do miss him and wish I
could see him again."
"You
can see him if you wish," God said. "I will give you the power to gaze into
hell."
So
the power was granted and the good brother gazed into hell. Before long he saw
his brother sitting on a bench. In one arm he held a keg of beer, and in the
other he cradled a gorgeous young blond.
The
good brother turned to God and said, "I can't believe what I'm seeing. I have
found my brother, and he has a keg of beer in one arm and a beautiful woman in
the other. Surely, hell cannot be that bad."
God
explained. "Things are not always as they seem. The keg has a hole in it. The
blond doesn't."
