Woodcutter .. lol
One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a
river,
his ax fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord appeared and
asked, "Why are you crying?" The woodcutter replied that his ax has
fallen
into
water, and he needed the ax to make his living.
The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden ax.
"Is this your ax?" the Lord asked. The woodcutter replied, "No."
The Lord again went down and came up with a silver ax.
"Is this your ax?" the Lord asked.
Again, the woodcutter replied, "No."
The Lord went down again and came up with an iron ax.
"Is this your ax?" the Lord asked.
The woodcutter replied, "Yes."
The Lord was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all three axes
to
keep, and the woodcutter went home happy.
Some time later the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the
riverbank and his wife fell into the river. When he cried out, the
Lord
again
appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?"
"Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!"
The Lord went down into the water and came up with Jennifer Lopez.
"Is this your wife?" the Lord asked.
"Yes," cried the woodcutter.
The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!"
The woodcutter replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a
misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to Jennifer Lopez,
You
would have come up with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Then if I also said 'no'
to
her, you would have come up with my wife. Had I then said 'yes,' you
would
have given me all three. Lord, I am a poor man, and am not able to
take
care of all three wives, so THAT'S why I said yes to Jennifer Lopez."
The moral of this story is: Whenever a man lies, it is for a good and
honorable reason, and for the benefit of others.
That's our story, and we're sticking to it!
