Anna
You ´re crying, Kevin.

Mark
Boys are also allowed to cry.

Anna lays her arm on his shoulder
It´s sure, we all are in mourning that grandma has died.

Mark
Now, grandma had already been about 90 years old, she couldn´t walk correctly and she often suffered of pains. She was no longer well.

Anna
I think we are going to make such experiences more often, because we ´re the youngest members of the family.

Mark
Sure, each man has to get away with it.

Anna
That´s life. We were born, than we are living for a time, and one day we will die.

Mark
But what will happen than?

Anna
Hmm. I don´t know. I think everything will have been passed away.

Mark
Aunt Angelika said, grandma would be an angel now and she would be at the dear God in the heaven.

Anna
Hmm. Where shall the heaven be situated?

Mark
High above.

Anna
In this case an astronaut would have had discovered the heaven.

Mark
The heaven would habe to be immense large, because billions of angels would have already been settled there.

Anna
Besides them there must be a heaven for Catholics, Protestans, Muslims, Jewish people etc..

Mark
...and for atheists the hell.

Anna
I think the hell is not only bound for atheists. Aunt Angelika said, the dead Christs had to make such a kind of test in the limbo at first.

Mark
...similar like a examination at the university?

Anna
May be. Only orderly people can go to heaven.

Mark
Daddy said, that the stories about the heaven would be nonsense.

Anna
I don´t know whether I shall believe in it.

Mark
We wouldn´t got the chance to go to heaven at all, becauce we have not been christened.

Anna
Can I compare it with a noble golf - club? Members only.

Mark
I think so. The golf - club costs a lot of money and anyone who doesn´t want to pay cannot ask for return - services.

Anna
You have to pay for the heaven too?

Mark
Yes, why not?

Anna
Hm, that would be a good investment, if it was so excessive there in reality?

Mark
If ...

Anna
That´s the problem: You have to buy a pig in a poke.

Mark
I want to got to know the truth now!

Anna
But whom shall we ask? Everybody will only tell us something about his faith.

Mark
But does the heaven really be only a matter of faith?

Anna
Aunt Angelika told me a lot about the heaven. She reported who great the heaven will be, and that only men can go to heaven but not animals.

Mark
Haa? But our biology - teacher sais we human beings were animals too.

Anna
We are animals?

Mark
We are the most developed animals.

Anna
I think that can´t be true. Aunt Angelika said, the clergyman would had said that animals don´t have got a soul and therefore the can´t go to heaven. But we men have got a soul!

Mark
What for a word was catched up by aunt Angelika. I can´t imagine that she is true. Our dog was really very dear.

Anna
You ´re right. ...and our dog got blood and a heart like us, the animal felt pains and was happy about a bone. Our dog got feelings!

Mark
Daddy said recently the church means something else by the term "soul".

Anna
But aunt Angelika said that animals haven´t got a soul. The soul would only be inside men and if somebody dies, the soul will leave his body and go to heaven. Than the body will molder, but the soul will exist eternally.

Mark
I can´t understand it at all. What shall the soul do with 41 virgins in the heaven?

Anna
Haa?

Mark
Ali told me, the Moslims believe so, or something similar at all.

Anna
Ha? I don´t understand it, that will be nonsense.

Mark
Daddy said, the religious faith is nonsense at all.

Anna
...but where from will the Moslims take such a lot of virgins?

Mark
I don´t know.

Anna
How do the Moslims answer this question?

Mark
I had asked Ali at school, I think the Moslims don´t know it by themselves at all.

Anna
I cannot guess whether the heaven exists in reality or not. I think that the heaven wouldn´t be great. There you have to sit on a cloud playing triumphing a harp whole over the day.

Mark
That would be very boaring...

Anna
Some people think that the souls will return to the earth some day and will be regenerated in a new body.

Mark
Haa?

Anna
It might could be that we had been living already one time sometimes in the past.

Mark
Perhaps we will be reborn as animals, I ´ve seen something similar at the television at all.

Anna
Hm, I don´t think so. Animals have not got a soul, said aunt angelika at all.

Mark
I think, that it will be sure that this will be our only life on earth.

Anna
I think so. But what will happen, when our lives will have been passed?

Mark
Daddy said, the death would be something similar like an eternal sleep you will awake from never. You can compare it with the time before we were born.

Anna
Daddy is right. We shouldn´t discus such a lot of matters about the death, but I would be better to take care about living on earth in order to help is ourselves and other people.

Mark
Therefore we would be busy more than enough.

Anna
Exactly. We will never see our dear grandma again neither here on the earth nor later in the heaven.

Mark
But we will never forget grandma. She will life further on in our remembrance.

Anna embraces her brother
Mark, we will stand together and we will get it!
