One day three men were walking along and came
upon a raging, violent river.
They needed to get to the other side, but had
no way of crossing the river.
The first man prayed to God saying,
"Please God, give me the
strength, courage, and ability 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.
Seeing this, the second man prayed to God saying,
"Please God,
give me the strength, courage, and ability to cross
this
river." Poof! God gave him a rowboat and
he was able to row
across the river in about three hours.
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, courage, and ability to cross this river."
And
poof! God turned him into a woman and
he walked across the
bridge.
