A young woman was
serving a life sentence in
prison. Angry and resentful
about her situation, She had
decided that she would
rather die to live another
year in prison.
Over the years she had
become good friends with
one of the prison caretaker.
His job among others was
to bury the dead prisoners
in the grave yard outside
the prison walls.
When a prisoner died, the
care taker rang
a bell which was heard by
everyone.
The caretaker then got the
body and put it in a casket.
Next, he entered his office
to fill out the death
certificate before returning
to the casket to nail the lid
shut. Finally, he would put
the casket on a wagon to
take it to the
graveyard and burry it
alone.
Knowing this routine, the
woman devised an escape
plan and shared it with the
caretaker. The next time the
bell rung, the woman
would leave her cell and
sneak into the dark room
where the coffins were
kept.
She would sleep into the
coffin with the dead body
while the caretaker was
filling out the death
certificate.
When the care-taker
returned, he would
nail the lid shut and take the
coffin outside the prison
with the dead body.
He would then burry the
coffin. The woman knew
there would be enough air
for her to breathe until later
in the evening when the
caretaker would return to
the graveyard under the
cover of darkness, dig up
the coffin, open it and set
her free.
The caretaker was reluctant
to go along with this plan,
but since him and the
woman had become good
friends over years, he
agreed to do it for her. The
woman waited several
weeks before someone in
the prison died.
She was asleep one day
then she heard the death
bell ringing. She got up and
slowly walked down the
hallway. She was nearly
caught a couple of times.
Her heart was beating so
fast.
She opened the door to the
darkened room where the
coffins were kept.
Quietly in the dark, she
found the coffin that
contained the dead body,
she carefully climbed into
the coffin and pulled the lid
shut to wait for the
caretaker to come and nail
the lid shut. Soon she heard
footsteps and pounding of
the hammer and nails. Even
though she was very
uncomfortable in the coffin
with the dead body, she
knew that with each nail
she was
one step closer to freedom.
The coffin was lifted onto
the wagon and taken
outside to the graveyard.
She could feel the coffin
being lowered into the
ground.
She didn’t make a sound as
the coffin hit the bottom of
the grave with a thud.
Finally she heard the dirt
dropping onto the top of
the wooden coffin, and she
knew that it was only a
matter of time until she
would be free at last.
After several
minutes of absolute silence,
she began to laugh. She
was free! She was free!
Feeling curious, she decided
to light a match to
find out the identity of the
dead prisoner beside her.
To her horror, she
discovered that she was
lying next to the dead
"prison caretaker"
MORAL OF THE STORY
Many people believe they
have life all figured
out……..
but sometimes it just
doesn’t turn out the way
they planned it.
Always think of a ''PLANB''!
"It's hard to know what
tomorrow holds”
The Happiest people don’t
have the best of everything;
they just make the best of
what they have.
Always Believe in God and
your problems will be
solved
AMEN!!!!!!
