God greets him at the Pearly Gates.

"Are you hungry, Moses?" asks God.

"I could eat," Moses replies.

God opens a can of tuna and reaches for a chunk of rye bread and they share it.

While eating this humble meal, Moses looks down into hell and sees the inhabitants devouring huge steaks, briskets, pheasants, pastries and wines. Curious, but deeply trusting, he remains quiet.

The next day God again invites him to join Him for a meal. Again, it is tuna and rye bread.

Once again, Moses can see the denizens of hell enjoying salmon, champagne, lamb, truffles and chocolates. Still he says nothing. The following day, mealtime arrives and another can of tuna is opened. He can't contain himself any longer.

Meekly, he says: "God, I am grateful to be in heaven with you as a reward for the pious, obedient life I led. But here in heaven all I get to eat is tuna and a piece of rye bread, and in the other place they eat like emperors and kings! I just don't understand."

God sighs. "Let's be honest," He says. "For just two people, does it pay to cook?"
