Three women arrived at the gates of Heaven, where St. Peter stood waiting with a warm smile. "Welcome, ladies!" he said. "Heaven is a wonderful place, but there's one very important rule you must follow." The women listened carefully. "Whatever you do," St. Peter warned, "DO NOT step on the ducks!" The women exchanged confused glances. "Ducks?" one asked. "Why would there be ducks in Heaven?" St. Peter simply smiled. "You'll understand when you get inside." Sure enough, the moment they entered, they discovered that Heaven was absolutely COVERED in ducks! Ducks waddled along the golden streets, rested beside the fountains, and wandered around every corner. The first woman tried her best to avoid them, but after just a few hours... QUACK! She accidentally stepped on a duck! St. Peter appeared instantly, accompanied by the most unattractive man she had ever seen. "You broke Heaven's only rule," he announced. "As punishment, you must spend eternity chained to this man!" Before she could protest, the two were chained together. The second woman watched in horror and promised herself she'd be more careful. For an entire day, she tiptoed around every duck in sight. But the next morning... QUACK! "Oh, no!" she cried. St. Peter appeared again, bringing along another incredibly unattractive man. "You know the rules," he said, chaining them together for eternity. The third woman was terrified. She watched every step, avoided crowded paths, and even checked under her feet before getting out of bed. Days turned into weeks. Weeks turned into months. Not once did she step on a single duck! Then one beautiful morning, St. Peter suddenly appeared in front of her. Lo, she was chained with a very handsome man. The amazed lady asked the gentleman why she was chained with him? A curt reply was “I stepped on a duck.”
