The Story of The Humble Seamstress

One day when a humble seamstress was sewing near a river, her thimble fell into the water. Seeing her distress, the Lord
appeared and asked, 'My dear child, why are you weeping?'

The poor woman replied that since she had lost her only thimble she could no longer earn a living for her family.

The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a
golden thimble set with sapphires.

'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked.

The honest seamstress replied, 'No.'

The Lord again dipped into the river and brought up a golden thimble studded with rubies.

'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked. Again, the little
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.'

Pleased with the woman's honesty, the Lord gave her all three thimbles. The seamstress went home happy.

Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her
husband, who fell into the river and disappeared under the water. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and again asked, 'Why are you crying?'

'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.

'If I said 'no' to Brad Pitt, 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 three husbands.

'THAT'S why I said 'yes' to George Clooney.'
