Three men are trying to cross a river. The first one prays and says, “Please give me the strength to cross this river.” Poof! He grows huge arms and legs and swims across the river.



The second man prays and says, “Please give me the strength and ability to cross this river.” Poof! A rowboat appears in front of him and he rows his way across the river.


The third man, seeing what the others have done, prays and says, “Please give me the strength, ability and intelligence to cross this river.” Poof! He turns into a woman. At that point, she looks at a map, walks down the bank and uses the bridge to cross the river.
