There was once rich man who wore expensive clothes and every day ate the best food. but a poor beggar named Lazarus was brought to the gate of the rich man's house. he was happy just to eat the scraps that fell from the rich man's table. his body was covered with sores and dogs kept coming up to lick them. the poor man died and angels took him to the place of honour next to Abraham. the rich man also died and was buried. he want to hell and was suffering terribly. when he looked up and saw Abraham far off and lazarus at his side he said to Abraham , "have pity on me! send Lazarus to dip his finger in water and touch my tongue. i'm suffering terribly in this fire," Abraham answer "my friend remember taht while you lived, you had everything good and Lazarus had everything bad. now he is happy and you are in pain and besides, there is a deep valley between us, and no one from either side can cross over,"
But the rich man said "Abraham, then please send Lazarus to my father's home, let him warn my five brothers, so they won't come to this horrible place."
Abraham answered, "your brothers can read what moses and the prophets wrote. thay should pay attention to that."
then the rich man said, "no, that's not enough! if only someone from the dead would go them, they would listen and turn to God."
So Abraham said, "if they won't pay attention to moses and the prophet, they won't listen even to someone who come back from the dead."
