 Story for Listening : Grade V
THE PARABLE OF THE PROFESSIONALS
By : Juan Flavier

As was his habit, St. Peter sat at the entrance of heaven. He liked to interview each arrival from earthly
life. He was particularly interested in knowing what the person had done for a living. This would give him
an idea of good deeds done as a basis for deciding whether to allow him entrance or to remand him to the
lower section where the flames burned all day long.
The new batch consisted mostly of professionals. The first man approached St. Peter with
confidence.
“What did you do on earth? And why should I accept you into heaven?” asked St. Peter.
“ I was a doctor. I attended to the sick and wounded. I also prevented disease by making people healthy
through immunization and other public health measures. I always responded to the call of the people.”
“ Enter heaven,” St. Peter intoned solemnly.
“ Next, please. What did you do on earth, and why should I accept you into heaven? “
“ I was a Lawyer, and I defended the accused and condemned. I was aguardian of truth and a
champion of law and order. I guided and counseled people to settle disputes. I was always at the service of
the people.”
“ Proceed to the gate,” The Saint commanded.
“ Next, please, what did you do on earth? Why should I accept you into heaven?”
“ I was an engineer on earth. I constructed houses for people to live in. I build skyscrapers for offices
and other needs of the people. I spanned river by constructing bridges. Man has made advances through
my endeavors. I was always an active partner in the progress of the people.”
“ Go pass the gate into heaven.
“Next, please,” said st. Peter.
“ And what have you to say for yourself? “
“ I was a teacher, and I taught all my school children to be God-loving…good and upright citizens.
Here are a halo and a pair of wings.” Said St. Peter to the elated teacher.
