Three Men and a River
Once there were three blond who were all trying to figure out
how to cross a river. They tried walking across, but it was much
too deep. Stumped, they sat down and began to cry.
Soon, a kind fairy came along. When she saw their tears, she
offered to give them each a wish if they would stop weeping.
The first man wished, “I wish I was smart enough to figure out
how to cross this river.”
-POOF!-
The fairy turned him into a man with light-brown hair. He swam
across the river.
The second man wished, “I wish I was even smarter than that.”
-POOF!-
The fairy turned him into a man with dark-brown hair. He built a
rowboat and rowed across.
The third man wished, “I want to be smarter then any man alive!”
-POOF!-
The fairy turned him into a woman and he walked across the
bridge.
