When A Woman Lies...

[AltumAngel]

Lies:

One day, a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river

and 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 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 same riverbank 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," cried the seamstress.

The lord was furious. "YOU LIED! That is an untrue!

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 and 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's why I said 'yes' to Mel

Gibson."

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!
