One day Simon was sitting in the flower garden wondering about death. What happens to a person after they die? Sick of getting his brain in a tangle, Simon got up to ask someone.
He saw Frank the gardener washing his fathers car.
“Mr. Frank,” Simon asked, “What happens when you die?”
“Well, they dig a big hole and put you in it.”
“Thank you Mr. Frank,” Simon said and he skipped off.
He walked down the lane whistling, until he saw the Dahi Lama.
“Mr. Religion man, what happens when you die?” Simon asked politely.
“You come back as an animal,” the Dahli Lama replied.
Simon continued walking until he came across the Pope.
“Excuse me, Mr. Religion man number two,” Simon asked, “What happens when you die?”
“Well,” replied the Pope, “You get to live with God in Heaven.”
It was getting late so Simon decided to make his way home.
His Dad was sitting at the table.
“Dad,” Simon asked as he walked through the door, “What happens when you die?”
Simon’s Dad sighed. “That’s one for your Mother.”
Suddenly Simon’s Mum appeared.
“Mum,” Simon asked, “What happens when you die?”
“I’m just going to wait and see,” Mum replied as she smiled warmly.
Suddenly an axe came flying through the window and chopped off her head.
“Well, she didn’t have to wait very long,” Simon said.
The End
