Does Honesty Pay?         

I hope you all have heard about the wood cutter's story.. 

Here is the new millennium wood cutter's story.

The Old Story:

One day, while a wood cutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his iron axe fell into the river. When he began crying, Water GOD appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?" The wood cutter told that his axe has fallen into water. GOD went down into the water and came up with a golden axe." Is this your axe?", GOD asked. The wood cutter said, "No". GOD again went down and came up with a silver axe. "Is this your axe?", GOD asked. The wood cutter Said, "No". GOD went down again and came up with the iron axe. "Is this your axe?" GOD asked. The wood cutter said "Yes". The GOD was pleased with the woodcutter's honesty and gave him all the three axes. The woodcutter lived happily ever after.

The New Story

Similar thing happened to our friend recently. One day, while he was walking with his wife near a river, his wife fell into the river. When he began crying, Water GOD appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?" He told that his wife had fallen into the river. GOD went down into the water and came up with Aishwarya Rai (Miss World). "Is this your wife?", GOD asked. Suddenly our friend said, "Yes". GOD was furious. "You cheat!", GOD scolded. "Honesty is gone, today I will curse you".  Immediately our friend said, "Forgive me my lord. It was your mistake. If suppose I say "No" to Aishwarya, you will come up with Sonali Bendre (another Miss World). If I say "No" to Sonali also, you will finally come up with my wife. If then I say "Yes", you will give all the three to me. I am a very poor man. I will not be able to look after all the three. So I said "Yes".
