So there’s this married couple and one day, the woman falls very ill and she eventually dies from this illness. She goes to heaven and there are these large gates. There’s an angel watching over the gates, and she asks the angel how she can get into heaven. And the angel tells her that everyone has to spell a word to get into heaven. So she asks what she should spell for the angel. The angel thinks about it for a minute before deciding that she should spell the word ‘love’ for him.
The woman spells it correctly, and the angel lets her into heaven. Many, many years later, the angel asks the woman to watch over the gate for him while he attends to some business. While she is watching the gate, her husband appears on the other side. He asks her how he can get into heaven too, to which she informs him that he will have to spell a word for her. She is happy to see him and asks him how the rest of his life had been. He tells her that it was wonderful; he remarried to the nurse that had taken care of his wife when she was ill, they had many beautiful children together, and he died peacefully in his sleep at an old age. Then the husband asks her what word he has to spell to get into heaven.
