Hyung Jin Nim's Interesting Story

I heard about a story of a young girl and she had an aged grandfather and the grandfather, he was now very old and he was in the 90's and was preparing to go to the next world. He was in a hospital, and he was everyday undertaking a new habit that she noticed and everyday she walked into the room, she visited him, she would open the door and there he would be, in front of a lamp, small lamp, reading his bible everyday. And she saw this habit every time she came and visited.

And once she said, "Grandpa, why is it that you're reading the bible everyday? You've never read it in your life. You've never really attended church so much, why all of a sudden you are reading the bible?" And the grandfather, you know, he stayed quiet at first and she continued to ask "Grandpa, Grandpa, tell me why you're reading the bible?"

And a little annoyed he said to her, "Well, it's a little like this, it's a little like cramming for your final exam the night before." (Laugh)
