A man came to a pool of water in the middle of a dirt road in the country. He stopped and was about to turn around but hesitated, wondering if he could get through it. "Excuse me!" he called out to the guy sitting on a tree stump near the road. "How deep is this hole? Can I drive through it?"

"Yeah," he said with a wave of his hand. "It ain't deep at all."

The man moved forward and the front end of his car went down into the water. He got out of the car, shouting at the guy on the stump, "I thought you said it wasn't deep!"

The guy got up, staring curiously at the car tipped downward in the deep puddle. "I don't understand it!" he said with a look of confusion. "It only comes up to here on the ducks!"

An old man rocked leisurely on his front porch watching the rain when flood waters came rushing down the road. He watched as the water rose, and then he began to pray. Before long, a man came up in a canoe. "Come on, sir!" he called out. Get into the boat!"

"I trust in God my children! He will save me! Go on and save yourselves!" The couple pleaded until they had no choice but to leave him.

A while later, the old man stood on his roof as the floodwater crept slowly over the top of his house. The sound of chariots came from the sky before a bright light shown down upon him when he realized it was a rescue helicopter. A voice from a megaphone called out to him, "We're going to lower a lifeline! Hold on and we will lift you to safety!"
