Having passed through the "Pearly Gates"  he  found himself ambling down a Golden Street. There on his lift stood The Tree of Life. On his right, in all its splendor, was The Tree of Knowledge. Flowing between them was a beautiful, crystal clear stream of water coming from the stream of God. The Golden Street crossed this stream. When passing between the two trees, a visitor could, at a specific paint, get fruit from both trees. A Pearl was laying right in the center of the Golden road. It was given by a special angel who kept it with light. 

When our traveler came to the  Pearl,  she looked at it and grumbled to herself, and said to others who would listen to her muttering saying, "This  Pearl has no business HERE. Who ever heard of such a dumb thing? This Pearl should be at the Gates! Who ever designed this street did it wrong. A golden street is no place for a Pearl! I it should be at the Gate! and at the Gate only! I am going to tell God about this mistake. Meanwhile, I'll just take it with me to show Him how stupid this design is." And with that she stooped down to pick it up. As she reached for it, she kept saying, "What is this  Pearl  doing here out of place!"

As she touched the  Pearl , a voice behind her said, What are YOU doing HERE?

Moral: Even the Lord will have to be careful lest a meddler, who thinks it should be done his way, slips through "The Pearly Gates! still trying to change he's "own things" with his back to the "Throne of God", no less!!)
