  1. One time an old man died and went to Heaven. At the gate St. Peter halted him and asked him did he ever do anything wrong in his life. "No" said the old man. "Well did you ever do any good"? said St. Peter. "I gave a penny to a poor woman said he" That was not enough said St. Peter so he asked St. Paul advice. What can we do only give him back his penny and let him "go down" said St. Paul.
