The preacher(传教士,牧师) was vexed1(焦急的,生气的) because a certain member of his congregation(集合,圣会) always fell asleep during the sermon(劝诫,布道) .

As the man was snoring(打鼾) in the front row one Sunday, the preacher determined2 he would teach him not to sleep during the sermon. So, in a whisper, he asked the congregation. "All who want to go to heaven,please rise." Everyone got up except the snorer. After whispering "Be seated", the minister shouted at the top of his voiced, "All those who want to be with the devil, please rise."

Awaking with a start(吓一跳地) , the sleepy-head jumped to his feet and saw the preacher standing3 tall and angry in the pulpit(讲道台,操纵台) , "Well, sir," he said, "I don't know what we're voting on, but it looks like you and me are the only ones for it."
