the next day god again invites her to join him for a meal.

again, it is tuna and rye bread.

once again, mother teresa can see the ⁷ of hell enjoying caviar, ⁸, lamb, truffles and chocolates.

still she says nothing.

the following day, mealtime arrives and another can of tuna is opened.

she can't contain herself any longer. ⁹, she says: "god, i am grateful to be in heaven with you as a reward for the ¹⁰, obedient life i led. but here in heaven all i get to eat is tuna and a piece of rye bread, and in the other place they eat like emperors and kings! i just don't understand."

god sighs. "let's be honest," he says. "for just two people, does it pay to cook?"
