So he asked the centipede in the box, &#8220;Would you like to go to church with me today? We will have a good time.&#8221; But there was no answer from his new pet. This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked again, &#8220;How about going to church with me and receive blessings?&#8221; But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet. So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation.<\/p>\n<p>The guy decided to invite the centipede one last time.
