A cat died and went to heaven.

St. Peter greeted him at the gate and
told the cat that he could have anything in the whole world that he
wanted.

The cat told him that all he wanted was a big, white, fluffy
pillow.

The pillow appeared next to the cat and he was on his way
with his new pillow.

About three days later, four mice died and came to heaven.

Once again,
St. Peter greeted the mice and told them that they could have
anything in the whole world.

The mice thought about it and then told
him that they were sick of being chased by cats that were so much
faster than them, so they each wanted a pair of roller skates.

The
skates appeared next to them and they put them on.

They skated away
looking happy.

Three or four days later St. Peter came across the cat laying on his
big, white, fluffy pillow.

St. Peter asked how he was enjoying animal
heaven and the cat said that it was great and he really enjoyed his
new pillow.

The cat added ". . . and by the way, thanks for the meals
on wheels you've been sending me!"
