What's it 2 U
One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting
close to a river, her thimble fell into the river. #
When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "My
dear child, why are you crying?" The seamstress
replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and
that she needed it to help her husband in making a
living for their family.
The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up
a golden thimble set with pearls. #"Is this your
thimble?" the Lord asked. The seamstress replied,
"No."
The Lord again dipped his hand into the river. #He
held out a silver thimble ringed with sapphires. #"Is
this your thimble?" the Lord asked. #Again, the
seamstress replied, "No."
The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather
thimble. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked. The
seamstress replied, "Yes."
The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave
her all three thimbles to keep and the seamstress went
home #happy.
Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her
husband along the river bank and her husband fell into
the river and disappeared under the water. When she
cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, "Why
are you crying?" Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into
the river!"
The Lord went down into the water and came up with Mel
Gibson. Is this your husband?" the Lord asked. Yes-Oh
yes!," cried the seamstress.
The Lord was furious. #"You lied! #That is not true!"
The seamstress replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. # It
is a misunderstanding. #You see, if I had said 'no' to
Mel Gibson, you would have come up with Tom Cruise.
#Then if I said 'no' to him, you would have come up
with my husband. #Had I then said 'yes,' you would
have given me all three.
Lord, I'm not in the best of health and would not be
able to take care of all three husbands, so that is
why I said 'yes' to Mel Gibson."
And so the Lord let her keep him.
The moral of this story is: #Whenever a woman lies,
it's for a good and honorable reason and in the best
interest of others.
That's our story and we're sticking to it.
