This story is a parable of a sinner trying to get past the Pearly Gates having no good thing done during his lifetime. As different people answer his knocking on the Gates, he tries to persuade them to let him in facing one refusal after another.
But what would be a real reason to let the sinner go into the Garden of Eden? Despite you may disagree, the story will definitely set you thinking.
