How He Knew

Cleveland Leader: A certain young
mans friends thought he was dead,
but he was only in a state OF coma.
When, in ample time to avoid being
buried, he showed signs of life. he
was asked how it seemed to be dead
"Dead?" he exclaimed. 81 WASH;
dead. / knew wasn't dead, too, be
cause my feet were cold and I was
hungry
But how did that fact make you
think you were still alive?" asked
one OF the curious.
Well, this way: l knew that if !
were in heaven wouldn't be hungry
and if l was in the other place my
feet wouldn't be cold"
