An old cowboy
was riding his trusty horse followed by his faithful dog along an unfamiliar
road. The cowboy was enjoying the new scenery, when he suddenly remembered
dying, and realized the dog beside him had been dead for years, as had his
horse. Confused, he wondered what was happening, and where the trail was
leading them.

After a
while, they came to a high, white stone wall that looked like fine marble. At
the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch topped by a golden letter
“H” that glowed in the sunlight.

Standing
before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl,
and the street that led to the gate looked like gold.

He rode
toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.
Parched and tired out by his journey, he called out, ‘Excuse me, where are we?’

‘Of course,

After another
long ride, at the top of another hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a
ranch gate that looked as if it had never been closed. As he approached the
gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.

The trio went
through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with
buckets beside it. The traveler filled a cup and the buckets with wonderfully
cool water and took a long drink, as did his horse and dog.
