One day while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of
a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord
appeared and asked,
“Why are you crying.”
The woodcutter replied that his axe had fallen into the water, and he needed the axe to make his living. The Lord then went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe.
“Is this your axe?”
The woodcutter replied,
“No.”
The Lord again went down and came up with a silver axe.
“Is this your axe?”
“No.”
Again, the Lord went into the water and surfaced with a iron axe.
“Is this your axe?”
“Yes.”
The Lord was pleased with the man’s honesty and gave him all three axes to be his own, and the woodcutter went home happy. Some time later the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the riverbank, and his wife fell into the river; when he cried out, the Lord appeared again and asked him why he was crying.
“Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the river.”
The Lord went down into the water and came up with Angelina Jolie.
“Is this your wife?”
“Yes.”
The Lord was furious,
“You lied to me, that is an untruth!”
The woodcutter responds,
“Oh forgive me my Lord, it was a misunderstanding…if I had said ‘no’ to Angelina Jolie, you would have come up with Cameron Diaz, then if I said ‘no’ to her, you would have come up with my wife. Had I said ‘yes’ you would have given me all three. Lord, I am a poor man, and am not able to take care of all three wives, and that’s why I said yes to Angelina Jolie.”
“Why are you crying.”
The woodcutter replied that his axe had fallen into the water, and he needed the axe to make his living. The Lord then went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe.
“Is this your axe?”
The woodcutter replied,
“No.”
The Lord again went down and came up with a silver axe.
“Is this your axe?”
“No.”
Again, the Lord went into the water and surfaced with a iron axe.
