If the woman is lying
One sat on the river bank seamstress, sewing, thimble and dropped into the river. Seamstress wept bitter tears. The Lord appeared to her and asked:
- What are you crying, the woman?
- Oh, my thimble fell into the water, and I'm just sewing can earn and support my family!
Then the Lord pulled from the water a golden thimble with sapphires.
- This is your?
- No.
Then he took out a golden thimble set with rubies.
-This Is your?
-No.
Then he took a simple leather thimble
-This Is your?
- Yes, my.
The Lord praised the honesty of the woman and gave her all three thimbles.
A few years later, the same seamstress was walking by the river with her husband, and the husband suddenly fell into the river and did not appear on the water surface. I cried the woman, and again the Lord appeared and decided to help her.
Remove it from the water George Clooney.
-This Is your husband?
- Yes, - said the seamstress.
- You lied! - Lord angry.
- Yes, I lied - zhenschina.- cried Forgive me, and hear. If I
I said 'no', you would have pulled out of the water Brad Pitt. If I re-
I said 'no', you would have learned of my husband. And then to hear my honest
the answer would give me all three! But I'm not at that age, and
health does not allow to live with three husbands! Just so I answered "yes" to Clooney!
And the Lord left her George Clooney.
The moral of this story is:
if the woman is lying, only for cause and only in the name
good purpose and in the interests of others.
