Memories of the Vaughn's

Little Roller Skates

-------------------------

A cat died and went to Heaven. God met her at the gates and said, "You have

been a good cat all these years. Anything you want is yours for the

asking."

The cat thought for a minute and then said, "All my life I lived on a

farm and slept on hard wooden floors. I would like a real fluffy pillow to

sleep on."

God said, "Say no more." Instantly the cat had a huge fluffy pillow.

A few days later, six mice were killed in an accident and they all went

to Heaven together. God met the mice at the gates with the same offer that

He made to the cat

The mice said, "Well, we have had to run all of our lives: from cats,

dogs, and even people with brooms! If we could just have some little roller

skates, we would not have to run again."

God answered, "It is done." All the mice had beautiful little roller

skates.

About a week later, God decided to check on the cat. He found her sound

asleep on her fluffy pillow. God gently awakened the cat and asked, "Is

everything okay? How have you been doing? Are you happy?"

The cat replied, "Oh, it is WONDERFUL. I have never been so happy in my

life. The pillow is so fluffy, and those little Meals on Wheels you have

been sending over are delicious!"
