Pada suatu hari ada seorang penebang kayu yang sedang menebangi cabang sebuah pohon, yang melintang di atas sungai. Tiba-tiba kapaknya terjatuh ke sungai itu. Ketika ia mulai menangis, Tuhan menampakkan diri dan bertanya, "Mengapa kamu menangis?" Si penebang kayu menjawab bahwa kapaknya telah terjatuh ke dalam sungai. Segera Tuhan masuk ke dalam air dan muncul dengan sebuah kapak emas. "Inikah kapakmu?" Tuhan bertanya. "Bukan" si penebang kayu menjawab. Tuhan masuk kembali ke air dan muncul dengan kapak perak. "Inikah kapakmu?" Tuhan bertanya. "Bukan" si penebang kayu menjawab. Sekali lagi Tuhan masuk ke air dan muncul dengan kapak besi. "Inikah kapakmu?" Tuhan bertanya. "Ya" jawab si penebang kayu.

Don't wait until your family and loved ones
have passed, because the worst feeling in the world is not being able to share
how you feel. So take the time and pass this on to let your loved ones know
that you love and appreciate them. Make the best out of life, because it is
gone before we know it.
