The preacher was vexed because a certain member of his congregation always fell asleep during the sermon. As the man was snoring in the front row one Sunday, the preacher determined he would teach him not to sleep during the sermon.
牧师非常生气,因为总有一个人在他说教时睡觉。一个星期天,正当坐在前排的那个人打瞌睡时,牧师决定要好好地教育他不要睡觉。

In a whisper, he asked the congregation. "All who want to go to heaven, please rise," Everyone got up except the snorer. After whispering" Be seated",the minister shouted at the top of his voice,"All those who want to be with the devil,please rise. "
他低声地对教徒们说:“想去天堂的人都站起来。”除打瞌睡的人外,每个人都站了起来。牧师说过请坐之后,高声喊道:“下地狱的请站起来!”

Awaking with a start,the sleepy-head jumped to his feet and saw the preacher standing tall and angry in the pulpit,”Well,sir," he said.,"I don't know what we're voting on, but it looks like you and me are the only ones for it."
打瞌睡的人被这突然的喊叫声所惊醒,站了起来。看到牧师高站在教坛上,正生气地望着他。他说:“先生,我不知我们在选什么,但看上去你和我是唯一的侯选人。”
