Who Stirred Troubles In Paradise?

He heard of a Halloween party being held in Paradise, so with incredible speed he was bound for Heaven... regardless of the outcome! Would God ever allow a fallen angel... enter those gates, where holiness reigned? Satan had to invent clever tricks, or he would never participate as others did... and wouldn't God Himself have recognized him? Well-groomed and fetched in his attire as a meek monk in brown tunic... he resembled the authentic friar whose purpose was to disrupt harmony... would he have suceeded or failed? And indeed he succeeded in his foul plan by turning all the guests against one another! Cupcakes, sugar apples and lollipops went flying... as they were tossed with harmful intention! Who ever hear of troubles in Paradise? Angels notified God of such daffy behavior, demand everyone to apologize to their angry God... how would Satan hide his disguise facing the Omnipotent? Had he considered the consequences of his foolish disarray? Yes, he did with a plan carrying out vengeance! " I have welcomed everybody to join this party, but someone has caused disorder and confusion!" God rebuked the gathered crown looking somber. " The guilty one come forward!" He ordered enraged. There's was a stillness more profound than peace itself! Out of the debating crowd, a monk stepped out, walking slowly...afraid of facing the wrathful face of the Almighty. " Say your name!" God requested little sympathetic. " My name is Satan...the disobedient angel whom You expelled!" " It was beacuse of your envy that I did that!" God replied. "Once again, I've tried to defeat You with my craftiness, and failing I have realized how mighty You still are!" Satan admitted. " I will leave this holy place, unworthy of my cunning deed!" And in saying so, Satan departed with a disappointed, saddened look. Why didn't God accurse him? Was his time at hand?
