Way to go to heaven

                                       Way to go to heaven
Long ago, there lived a person called Koosappa. Basically he is greedy. One day he listened to a lecture given by saint. In that, saint said giving alms to needy and helping persons in need will lead us to heaven. So we must help the needy.
Koosappa after hearing this,decided he must help needy. Thinking like this, he was returning home. Midway he saw a snake passing. Koosappa thought if this snake bites anyone,person will die. Saint had said to do useful things. Koosappa beated snake and killed it.
He kept the dead body on nearby rock. In fraction of a second, an eagle came and took out the dead snake in its beak. After seeing what happened, Koosappa was happy. He thought he has helped a hungry eagle to have its meal. He thought he will surely go to heaven.
One day, Koosappa died. His soul was produced before Yamadharma for allotting him the place according to his deeds. Chitragupta said Koosappa has not done any useful work which may help others. So, he must be sent to hell.
Listening to this, Koosappa was very angry. He said he has helped people by killing snake which may bite them. He also fed a hungry eagle by dead snake as food. Because of these, He has to go to heaven ,not to hell. Yamadharma listened to his saying.
Then, he gave the justice "Snake was going without disturbing anyone. It is ridiculous that it may have bitten anyone. Koosappa killed snake.  He didnt know where to dispose it. He placed it on rock. Eagle saw this and ate the snake. It was unintentional. Koosappa must be sent to hell for killing snake". Thus, Koosappa's dream of going to heaven got shattered.
