I heard this story when my parent's pratically dragged me by my toes to go to church stare thankfully I don't now, but when I went once, against my will, I actually tuned into this story about some dude and an angel and I thought it was pretty okay.

There once was a guy who lived on a farm with his wife. One day an angel came down from heaven and said "God has given you three wishes, but whatever you wish for, you're neighbor gets twice as much." Not caring about what the angel said about the neighbor, he made his first wish. "I wish I had ten thousand cows." The angel granted him the wish, and just as she warned him, his neighbor got twenty thousand cows. The neighbor was very happy. The next day the angel came again and the man wished for his wife to have a son. Within nine months he had a baby boy. The same day at church, the man's neighbor stood up and announced "my wife just had twins." The next day the angel came back and said "now for your final wish." the man just looked at the angel and said "I wish I was blind in one eye."

Theend.
