There was once a tailor who wanted to be admitted to Heaven. He was so exhausted and he was begging St. Peter so badly, that St. Peter took pity of him and let the tailor in. He had however to sit quietly in a corner because otherwise the Lord would get angry. The tailor followed St. Peters orders only while he was there. When St. Peter left, the tailor decided to look around. All of a sudden the tailor’s gaze fell into a big golden chair, which happened to be the Lord’s. Will the tailor dare to sit there and what will follow after that? Find out the answers in "The Tailor in Heaven".
