WOODCUTTER
One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of
a tree above a
river, his axe fell into the river. When he began crying, God appeared and
asked him, "Why are you crying?" The woodcutter told Him that his axe has
fallen into water.
God went down into the water and reappeared with a
golden axe. " Is this your axe?", God
asked. The woodcutter said
"No". God
again went down and came up with a silver
axe." "Is this your
axe?", God
asked. The
wood cutter said "No". God
went down again and came up with an
iron axe.
"Is this your axe?" God asked. The wood cutter said "Yes". God
was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all
the three axes. The
woodcutter went home happily.
Next day while he was walking with his wife along
the river, his
wife fell into the river. When he began crying, God appeared and asked him,
"Why are you crying?" "My wife has
fallen into water." God went down
into
the water and came up with Jennifer Lopez. "Is
this your wife?", God asked.
"Yes", he said. God was furious. "You cheat! I will curse you......",
God
scolded. He
quickly said, "Forgive me My Lord. It is a misunderstanding.
If I say "No" to Jennifer Lopez, you will
come up with Catherine Zeta Jones.
If I also
say "No" to her, you will finally come up with my wife and I
will say "Yes". Then you will give all the three to me. I am a poor man. I
will not be
able to look after all the three. So that's why I've to say
"Yes".
