n the apron.

In great excitement St. Peter tried to turn him out of heaven, but the
little shoemaker shouted:

"You can't touch me! You can't touch me! I'm sitting on my own property!
Let me alone!"

He raised such a hubbub that all the angels and the blessed saints came
running to see what was happening. Presently Lord Jesus himself came and
the little shoemaker explained to him how he just had to stay in heaven
as the devils wouldn't let him into hell.

"Now, Master," St. Peter said, "what am I to do? You know yourself we
can't keep this fellow in heaven."

But Lord Jesus, looking with pity on the poor little shoemaker, said to
St. Peter:

"Just let him stay where he is. He won't bother any one sitting here
near the gate."
