Crossing The River
One day three
men were walking along and came upon a raging, violent river. They needed to get to the
other side, but had no idea of how to do it. The first man prayed to God saying;
"Please God, give me the strength 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
and ability to cross this river." Poof! God gave him a rowboat and 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, ability, and intelligence to cross this
river." And Poof! God turned him into a woman. He looked at the map, then walked
across the bridge.
