When people die in the village all of their things go to the flea market. Many people come to the flea market to buy the old things and take them home and give them a new live. The flea market is organised by the church and is run by volunteers. The volunteers are all very old and they are all members of the church. Working on the flea market makes the volunteers happy.
The volunteers tell each other it is better to give old things to the flea market then to throw them away. Perhaps somebody else can use them they say. When the volunteers die their things will also go to the flea market. Their clothes and their armchairs and their radios and their cutlery will go to the flea market, but they don't go themselves. They go to the sky, where the heaven is.
In heaven there is no need for a flea market because there are no old and new things in heaven and everything will stay there for eternity. The volunteers don't know what they will do with their time yet when they are in heaven, but they know that doesn't really matter because time doesn't really exist in heaven, but they do know they will be happy there, which is more important anyway.
