Cowboys in Heaven
Retold by
S. E. Schlosser
After cow punching for nigh on fifty years, a Texas cowboy went on to his
reward.
There was considerable excitement in heaven when he reached the pearly gates.
The arrival of a real Texan cowboy was considered something of an event in
heaven.
Saint Peter himself came right over and insisted on giving the cowpoke a tour.
Things were right friendly-like until the cowboy spotted half-a-dozen cowpokes
staked out like broncos.
"Why are all those men staked out?" he asked Saint Peter.
Saint Peter replied: "Those are cowboys from the Panhandle.
Every time we let them loose, they try to go back to Texas!"
