A little alms, my good man
You look as though you’re not short of money.
A smart pair of trousers, a cheerful poncho and a hat in your hand.

You’re the perfect person.
She’s been waiting for you.
Did you know that?

Yes, do come a little closer.
Take a good look.
Doesn’t she have a beautiful face, a lovely glow?

Surely you don’t want it on your conscience
If this lovely girl, the virgin of the field, dies of hunger because of you?

Open your purse wide
Fill my outstretched hand
Don’t be so stingy, or the gates of heaven will remain closed!

Sort:  

Some people think money will get them into heaven, haha. And those who beg use this phrase to convince even the stingiest person, hahaha.

Hay gente que cree que el dinero les permitirá entrar al cielo, jeje. Y los que piden utilizan esta frase para convencer hasta al más tacaño, jajaja.

The heaven must be full with these types of people. I rather pass. It sounds like a place of hypocrites, criminals and serial killers.

Jeje. Yo, al igual que tú, prefiero quedarme acá con los "miserables" conocidos. ¿Te imaginas que en el cielo estén todos los seres inhumanos que estaban acá? No sé tú, pero yo me muero, jajaja. Un abrazo.

Thank you souch for your support.
A happy week to you all @jimiaera02

I agree with @solperez
Worse still, some commit crimes and expected to buy their way to heaven.

Does anyone have difficulties loading images on this site?

Those heavens must be terrible...

No loading images not but I experienced issues with the wallet for three days same for loading steemit.com

I had issue with wallet few days ago. Unable to load the page but it's ok now. Is it the same for you?

La plataforma ha estado muy inestable y a veces no carga las imágenes.

I think this is the second time I have this issue. So we will just have to wait?

¡También sería bueno subir imágenes en formato jpg en lugar de png! ¡El formato png ocupa demasiado espacio y sobrecarga enormemente los servidores! Nos estamos quedando sin espacio en los servidores y hay usuarios que se quejan de que mantener un servidor en funcionamiento resulta demasiado caro.

I think the images I used were JPEG but I will double check the next time I upload

Sí. Es mejor es esperar.

Excelente sugerencia.

hahaha,It's a very subtle way of saying, "Give me money and you'll get into heaven, otherwise you won't," and the point is that some people believe it.
