WHY MEN ARE SO HONEST

One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river.
...............
When he started crying, the Angel appeared and asked... "Why are you crying?"
The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into water and he needed it to make a living.

The Angel went down into the water & reappeared with a "Golden Axe".
"Is this your axe?"... the Angel asked.
The woodcutter replied.... "No."

The Angel again went down and came up with a "Silver Axe".
"Is this your axe?"... the Angel asked.
Again, the woodcutter replied... "No".

The Angel went down again and came up with an "Iron Axe".
"Is this your axe?".... the Angel asked.
The woodcutter replied... "Yes".

The Angel was pleased with the man's honesty & gave him all 3 axes to keep and the woodcutter went home happy.

Some time later the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the riverbank & his wife fell into the river.
................
When he cried out, the Angel again appeared and asked him... "Why are you crying?"
The woodcutter replied... "Oh, my wife has fallen into the water!"

The Angel went down into the water and came up with "Pamela Anderson."
"Is this your wife?".... the Angel asked.
"Yes"...... cried the woodcutter.

The Angel was furious and said... "You lied! That is untrue."
The woodcutter replied... "Oh, forgive me, It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said no to Pamela, you would have come up with Angelina Jolie. Then if I said no to her, you would have come up with my wife. Had I then said yes, you would have given me all three. I'm a poor man and not able to take care of 3 wives, so that why I said yes to Pamela."

The moral of this story is..."Whenever a man lies, it is for a good and honorable reason and for the benefit of others."

That's my story and I am sticking to it.
