At Heaven's Gate

In this darkly humorous moral story, a woman arrives at the gates of Heaven, trembling as she confesses to heinous crimes, including poisoning her husband and harming her children. However, Saint Peter dismisses her past as inconsequential because she was not a member of the Women's Press Association, ultimately welcoming her into Heaven and offering her two harps. This tale serves as an educational moral story for class 7, illustrating the absurdity of societal judgments and the uplifting notion that one's affiliations can overshadow personal transgressions.
