At midnight, a middle-aged man was waiting at a train station to cross
the country to back east to see his relative.
As he stepped up into the
train car he noticed that the car was almost empty except a young
beautiful nun sitting by herself reading a Bible.
The man came and sat near her hoping to get some companionship during
the long ride.
However, the nun was paying no attention to him.
She just
kept on reading the Bible without even looking up to him or saying a
word.
As time went by slowly and silently, it made the man more and more
anxious to start conversation.
But he did not know how or where to
start.
The man then put his hand on the nun's lap.
The nun blushed with a little bit of anger.
She turn around and said, "Dear sir, do you believe in God?"
He replied" Yes, I do."
"Have you read the Bible? You know it is wrong to put your hand on my
lap. Perhaps you should go home and read line 23 on page 157." she
asked.
The man withdrew his hand and sat quietly till the train reached the
East coast.
Next day, people found out that he shot himself in his room
while the Bible lay open on page 157.
Line 23 read: "Heaven is a
little bit higher."
