Satan was concerned over the fact that business was not increasing. He wanted to reach as many people as possible and draw them into Hell. One demon jumped up and said: I'll go back to earth and tell the people there is no Heaven That won't do, said Satan. We've tried it before and it doesn't work. I'll convince them there is no Hell, offered a second demon. No! nat doesn't work either, said Satan. A wise old veteran at the back of the room stood up and said: If you let me go back to earth, I can fill Oils place! Illjust convince them there Is nohurry. There's lots of time.
