There, at a very largecathedral, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it.He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in चाइना. and heasked a nearby nun what its purpose was.She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 hecould talk to God."O.K., thank you," said the American.He then traveled to pakistan, srilanka, russia, Germany and France.In every church he saw the same golden telephonewith the same "$10,000 per call" sign under it.The American, upon leaving Vermont decidedto travel to up to India to see if Indians had the same phone.He arrived in India, and again, in the first church he entered, there wasthe same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read "One Rupeeper call."The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign."Father, I've traveled all over World and I've seen this same goldentelephonein many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to Heaven,but in the US the price was $10,000 per call.Why is it so cheap here?"The priest smiled and answered, "You're in India now, son - it's a localcall".
