> *Having arrived at the Gates of Heaven, he meets a man with a beard.**
>
> **'Are you Mohamed?' he asks.**
>
> **'No, my son. I am Peter. Mohamed is higher up.*
>
> *And he points to a ladder that rises into the clouds.
>
> Delighted that Mohamed should be higher than Peter.*
>
> *he climbs the ladder in great strides,*
>
> *climbs through the clouds coming to a room

> *'No, I am Jesus...You will find Mohamed higher up.
>
> Mohamed higher than Jesus!
> The poor man can hardly contain his delight and climbs and climbs, ever
> higher. Once again, he reaches a larger room
> where he meets a man with a beard and repeats his question:**
>
> **'Are you Mohamed?' he gasps,*
>
> *as he is, by now, totally out of breath from all his climbing.*
>
> *'No, my son...I am God. But you look exhausted.*
>
> Would you like a coffee?'
>
> * 'Yes, please, my Lord'
>
> God looks behind him, claps his hands and calls out:*
>
> *'Hey, Mohamed, two coffees!'**
