One day, three men were hiking andunexpectedly came upon a large raging, violentriver. They needed to get to the other side,but had no idea of how to do so.
The first man prayed, saying, \"Please God,give me the strength to cross this river.\" Pool!God gave him big arms and strong legs, andhe was able to swim across the river in abouttwo hours, after almost drowning a couple oftimes.
Seeing this , the second man prayed toGod, saying, \"Please god, give me the strength... and the tools to cross this river.\" Poof!God gave him a rowboat and he was able torow across the river in about an hour, afteralmost capsizing the boat twice.
The third man had seen how this workedout for the other two, so he also prayed,saying, \"Please God, give me the strengthand the tools ... and the intelligence ... tocross this river.\" And poof! God turned himinto a woman. She looked at the map, walkedupstream a couple of hundred yards, thenwalked across the bridge.
一天,三個男人遠(yuǎn)足時(shí)意外地遇到一條波濤洶涌的大河。他們需要到河對岸去,但對如何過河一籌莫展。
第一個人祈禱說:“上帝啊,請給我過河的力量。”噗!上帝賦予他粗壯的手臂和強(qiáng)健的腿。他花了約兩小時(shí)游過河,共間有兩次幾乎淹死。
看到這些,第二個人對上帝祈禱說:“上帝啊,請給我過河的力量……以及工具。”噗!上帝賜給他一條劃艇。他花了約一個小時(shí)劃船過河,共間有兩次幾乎翻船。
第三個人看到這兩個人的結(jié)果,于是也祈禱說:“上帝啊,請給我過河的力量和工具……以及智慧。”噗!上帝把她變成了女人。她看了看地圖,朝著河上游走了兩百碼,然后過了橋。
