As soon as he dies, Juan found himself in a very beautiful place surrounded by all the comforts and beauty he had ever dreamed of. Someone dressed in white came up to him:
"You are entitled to whatever you wish: any food, pleasure, entertainment," he said.
Enchanted, Juan did everything he had dreamed of during his life. After many years filled with pleasure, he sought out the person in white:
"I've already tried everything I wished for. Now I need a job so that I can feel useful."
"I'm so sorry," said the person in white. "But that is the only thing that I cannot manage for you; there is no work here."
"How terrible!" said Juan in irritation. "I shall spend eternity dying of tedium! I'd prefer a thousand times to be in hell!"
The creature in white came over to him and said in a low voice:
"And where do you think you are?"
