A little mouse dies and goes to heaven. St. Peter meets him at the gate & lets him in. The mouse spends time looking around heaven, and after two weeks St. Peter seeks him out and says, "It's our custom after two weeks to survey all our new residents and see how they like heaven. What are your impressions of the place, and what do you like best about it?" The mouse replies, "It's beautiful. It's magnificent. I'm awed by the grandeur--I guess that's the best part. But it's so vast. There's no way I'll ever get to see all of it. It's just too much for me." St. Peter replies, "Well, I think I can help. Here is a pair of roller skates. That should help you get around better." The mouse thanked him and skated off.
By and by a cat died and also went to heaven. He too was met at the gate by St. Peter and welcomed in. After two weeks, St. Peter went looking for him with his standard question: "It's our custom after two weeks to survey all our new residents and see how they like heaven. What are your impressions of the place, and what do you like best about it?" The cat replied, "Well, it's grand and majestic. I'm very impressed and really very happy here. The best thing? Oh, I guess I'd have to say it's your Meals on Wheels."
