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

    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 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 George Clooney.
    'Is this your husband?' the Lord asked. 'Yes,' cried the
    seamstress.


    The Lord was furious. 'You lied! That is an
    untruth!'

    The seamstress replied, 'Oh, forgive me, my Lord It is a
    misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to George Clooney, you
    would have come up with Brad Pitt . Then if I said 'no' to him, you
    would have come up with my husband. 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 George Clooney .

    And so the Lord let her keep him.

    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. ;-)
