A preacher once told his audience, "When you speak the Name of God with true faith you can walk on the waters." There was a farmer standing there who was very pleased to hear this. He went home pondering upon it. Next day he went to the preacher and said, "I could not understand all the dogmas and morals you preached, but one thing impressed me very much. Will you do me the great honor of having dinner with me?" The preacher accepted, and the farmer said that he would come to fetch him the next day. This the farmer did, and on their way they came to a river which they had to cross. So the preacher said, "Where is the boat?" The farmer said, "Boat? You taught me that if we pronounced the name of God we could walk on the water! Therefore I did not take my boat but walked on the water, as you said." The preacher was very much afraid that he would have to walk on the water too, for he had never tried this. He said, "Will you do it, please?" And the farmer did; but the preacher could not.
