The boy in our story wanted to go to Heaven. Not right away but still he would prefer Heaven to Hell. And when you think about it, who wouldn’t? He heard one priest saying that whoever walked a straight path would end up in Heaven. The boy took those words literally and he found himself in a church. He thought however it was Heaven. Then he heard the icons talking to him and welcoming him to a wedding. The boy accepted but without realizing what big misunderstanding had occurred.
