A woman was gathering firewood along the edge of a river. While cutting a branch from a tree, she dropped her axe into the water, and it sank to the bottom.
Desperate, she began to pray and plead:
– Lord, help me, please, Lord!

God appeared and asked her:
– What’s wrong, woman? What happened? Why are you crying so bitterly?
– Lord, please help me. My axe fell into the river, and I have nothing to cut wood with — I’ll freeze to death.

God put His hand into the river and pulled out a golden axe.
– Is this your axe? He asked.
The noble woman replied:
– No, Lord, that’s not mine.

God reached in again and pulled out a silver axe.
– Is this your axe, woman?
– No, Lord, not that one either.

God reached in a third time and pulled out an axe made of iron and wood.
– And this one — is it yours? He asked once more.
– Yesss, Lord, yes!!! That one is mine.

God was so pleased with the woman’s honesty that He gave her all three axes — the golden one, the silver one, and her original axe.
Overjoyed, the woman ran home to tell her beloved husband about the miracle. She then took him to the spot where she had seen God.

But in a moment of carelessness, the man tripped and fell into the river. Not knowing how to swim, he drowned.
The woman began to cry again and plead for help.

God appeared once more.
– What now? What happened? Why are you crying again?
Through her sobs, the woman replied:
– Lord, my husband fell into the river and drowned.

Immediately, God went into the river and pulled out Brad Pitt.
– Is this your husband? He asked.
– Yes, yes, yes! said the woman.

God became angry:
– You are a lying woman! He exclaimed.

Quickly, the woman explained:
– Lord, forgive me, but it’s a misunderstanding… If I had said NO, you would’ve brought me George Clooney, and if I said he wasn’t my husband either, then finally you’d bring my real husband.
And when I said, “YES, this is my husband,” You would’ve sent me home with all three of them.
But Lord, I am a humble woman, with moral principles, and I could not commit POLYGAMY!
That’s why I said YES to the first one You showed me.

God saw the wisdom in her reasoning and forgave her.

MORAL:
Women have such good arguments that even God believes them.
That’s how they are — they never lose!
They are UNIQUE! ❤️
