WOMEN'S HONESTY

A dressmaker was sitting by the river, drawing. Suddenly she lost her thimble and it fell down in the river.
She got broken-hearted and started to cry. Then a good fairy appeared.

- Dear child, why are you crying?
- I lost my thimble in the river. Without that I can't manage to support my family.

The fairy put the hand in the water and brought up a golden thimble, covered with diamonds.
- Is this your thimble, the fairy asked.
- No, said the dressmaker.


The fairy put her hand in the river again and picked up a silver thimble, covered with saphires.
- Is this your thimble, then, she asked.
 - No, said the dressmaker, it's not mine.

Again, the fairy put her hand in the deep river and brought up an old, worned out thimble in leather.
- Well, is this your thimble?

- YES, said the dressmaker, that's my thimble!

And the fairy was so surprised by the dressmaker's honesty so she let her keep all three thimbles. The dressmaker went home - so happy!

A few years later the dressmaker was walking together with her husband down by the river again. All of a sudden her husband fell into the river. The dressmakers was broken-hearted and cried a lot. Then the good fairy was back!
- Why are you crying, my friend, asked the fairy.
- My husband fell into the river, the dressmaker was crying.

The fairy put her hand in the water and brought up George Clooney!
- Is this your husband, the fairy asked.
-YES, the dressmaker cried out.


The fairy got mad!
- You are a lier! This is not at all your husband, she said.
- Oh, please, forgive me, good fairy, it must be a misunderstanding! You see, if I had said "no" you probably dragged up Tom Cruise. And if I had said "no" to him, you had pulled up my husband. If I then had said "yes" you would have given me all three of them. As you can see, fairy, I'm not in such a good health and it should have been far too hard for me to "take care" of all three of them, so that's why I had to say "yes" to George Clooney.

The moral of this story is:
Whenever a woman lies there is ALWAYS a good reason, and the lie is told to make the best for others.
Well, that's the point in this story... - and let's stick to it!!!
