A Tale in Heaven

 St. Peter once again went into another round of screening souls whether they could be admitted or not into the firmaments of heaven. Of course, he underscored the importance of remarkable deeds as the sole basis for such selections. This first soul, a doctor, reasoned out that he cured a lot of sick persons among whom where the world's leading celebrities and political figures. Not to be outshone, the second soul who was an engineer, sounded rather extremely boastful by saying that he builds the world's known structures like towering buildings and awe-imposing bridges. Moreover, the third soul, a lawyer, recalled w/ a great pride his glorious moments of defending the oppressed right in his own trouble-ridden country. Such unjustly treated ones include top-ranking opposition leaders, key labor figures, concerned farmers as well as students activists. However, not one of them was not able to impress the seemingly hard-to-please St. peter. At this point, the fourth soul approached him and briefly said; ' I taught them all, including the doctor, the engineer and the lawyer". definitely, at that moment, St. Peter knew that he had found the most deserving of all, and that is the TEACHER!
