One day three men were walking along and came upon a raging, violent river. They needed to get to the other side, but couldn't figure out how to cross it.
The first man prayed to God saying, "Please God, give me the strength, courage and ability to cross this river."
Poof! God gave him big arms and strong legs, and he was able to swim across the river in about two hours.
Seeing this, the second man prayed to God saying, "Please God, give me the strength, courage, and ability to cross this river." Poof! God gave him the skill to chop down a tree and fashion it into a rowboat; he was able to row across the river in about three hours.
The third man had seen how this worked out for the other two,so he also prayed to God saying, "Please God, give me the strength, courage and ability to cross this river." Poof! God turned him into a woman, and he walked across the bridge. |
