This is a good reminder
.
A pretty woman was serving life sentence in prison. Angry and resentful about her
situation, she had decided that she would rather die than to live another
year in prison.
Over the years she had become good friends with one of the
prison caretakers. His job, among others, was to bury those
prisoners who died in a graveyard just outside the prison walls.
When a prisoner died, the caretaker rang a bell, which was
heard by everyone. The caretaker then got the body and put it in a
casket. Next, he entered his office to fill out the death
certificate before returning to the casket to nail the lid shut. Finally, he
put the casket on a wagon to take it to the graveyard and bury
it.
Knowing this routine, the woman devised an escape plan and
shared it with the caretaker. The next time the bell rang, the woman
would leave her cell and sneak into the dark room where the coffins
were kept. She would slip into the coffin with the dead body
while the caretaker was filling out the death certificate..
When the care-taker returned, he would nail the lid shut and take
the coffin outside the prison with the woman in the coffin along with
the dead body. He would then bury the coffin. The woman knew
there would be enough air for her to breathe until later in the evening
when the caretaker would return to the graveyard under the cover of
darkness, dig up the coffin, open it, and set her free.
The caretaker was reluctant to go along with this plan, but
since he and the woman had become good friends over the years, he
agreed to do it.
The woman waited several weeks before someone in the prison
died. She was asleep in her cell when she heard the death bell ring.
She got up and slowly walked down the hallway. She was
nearly caught a couple of times. Her heart was beating fast. She opened the
door to the darkened room where the coffins were kept. Quietly in
the dark, she found the coffin that contained the dead body, carefully
climbed into the coffin and pulled the lid shut to wait for the
caretaker to come and nail the lid shut.
Soon she heard footsteps and the pounding of the hammer and nails.
Even though she was very uncomfortable in the coffin with
the dead body, she knew that with each nail she was one step closer
to freedom.
The coffin was lifted onto the wagon and taken outside to
the graveyard. She could feel the coffin being lowered into the
ground. She didn't make a sound as the coffin hit the bottom of the
grave with a thud.
Finally she heard the dirt dropping onto the top of the wooden coffin,
and she knew that it was only a matter of time until she would be free at last.
After several minutes of absolute silence, she began to laugh.
She was free! She was free! Feeling curious, she decided to light a
match to find out the identity of the dead prisoner beside her.
To her horror, she discovered that she was lying next to the dead caretaker...
Many people believe they have life all figured out...... but sometimes it just doesn't turn
out the way they planned it.
Think of a 'Plan B'!
