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. The line 23 read: “Heaven is a little bit higher.”
