KEEP SMILING !

An American decided to write a book about famous churches around theWorld. So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to China.
On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read "$10,000 per call". The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for. The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God.The American thanked the priest and went along his way. Next stop was in Japan. There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it.He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in. He asked a nearby nun what its purpose was. She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 from which he Could talk to God. "O.K., thank you," said the American. He then traveled to Pakistan, Srilanka, Russia, Germany, U.K., India and France. In every church he saw the same golden telephone with the same "$10,000 per call" sign under it. The American, upon leaving Vermont decided to travel to Nepal to see if Nepalese had the same phone. He arrived in Nepal, and again, in the first church he entered, there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it was "One Rupee per call." The American was extremely surprised, so he asked the priest about the sign. "Father, I've travelled all over the World and I've seen this same golden telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to Heaven, But in rest of the world price was $10,000 per call. Why is it so cheap here?"
Readers, it is your turn........ Think ....before you scroll down... ............ .......... ........ ...... ............ .. ........ ......... .......... ........ ...... ............ ... .......... .......... ......... ........ ...... ............ . ............ .......... ........ ........ ...... The priest smiled and answered, "You're in Nepal now, Son - it's a Local Call, you neednot to make any STD or ISTD to get heaven.This is the only heaven on the Earth. You may be aware of local call is far cheaper than STD/ISTD."
The American tourist was well convinced, thanked the priest and concluded his journey there.
