Onehundred im/polite days - second blog entry - An Ancient Story
This is part of my 100im/polite days project. http://bit.ly/77jlIT I do not know where I found this story, I've had it a long time, so I can't site the reference, but here it is:
An Ancient Story
A man who led basically a good life died and was assigned to Hell for a short time. He discovered that the main torture in Hell was that everyone was forced to eat with spoons that were longer than their arms. The condemned spent eternity in the midst of excellent food they couldn't eat. When he was finally transferred up to Heaven, he found that the blessed were given the same spoons. In heaven, howver, no one went hungry because they fed each other.
