One day, three men were hiking and unexpectedly came upon a large
raging, violent river. They needed to get to the other side, but had no idea
of how to do so.
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, after almost
drowning a couple of times.
Seeing this, the second man prayed to God, saying, "Please God, give
me the strength ..and the tools to cross this river." Poof!!! God gave
him a rowboat and he was able to row across the river in about an hour,
after almost capsizing the boat a couple of times.
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 and the
tools...and the intelligence... to cross this river." And poof!!! God
turned him into a woman. She looked at the map, hiked upstream a
couple of hundred yards, then walked across the bridge.
