One day a woodcutter was cutting a branch when his axe slipped and fell into the river below. He prayed on his knees and the Lord appeared.

"Why are you crying?" The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into water

The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe, "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.

"No" The woodcutter replied,

The Lord again went down and came up with a silver axe "Is this your axe?"

"No" he replied again, The Lord went down a third time and came up with an iron axe

"Is this your axe?" the Lord asked

"Yes" he said.

The Lord was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the woodcutter went home happily.

Some days later while he was walking with his wife along the riverbank, the wife slipped and fell into the river. He prayed on his knees again and the Lord duly appeared again.

"Why are you crying?"

"Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!"

The Lord went down into the water and came up with Jennifer Lopez.

"Is this your wife?" the Lord asked

"Yes," cried the woodcutter.

The Lord was furious "You cheat! That is a lie!!"

The woodcutter replied, "Pardon me almighty! But there's a reason.

You see, if I had said 'no' to Jennifer Lopez, You would come up with Catherine Zeta-Jones and then my wife. I would say yes when my wife came up and you would leave all three with me. But Lord, I am a poor man and I will not be able to take care of all three wives, that's why I said yes the first time."
