Two rabbis invite a priest to go fishing with them. They get to the middle of the lake and have a wonderful time. Soon Rabbi Isaac decided to switch to lures, but he’s left his box in the truck.
He simply gets out of the boat and walks across the water to reach the shore and get his box. Father William is shocked.
Sometimes passes and rabbi Ishmael finds his water bottle empty. He simply walks back over the water to the truck to refill his bottle and come back. Father William is astounded.
“My faith is as strong as yours!!” He declares and steps out of the boat, only to sink in the water like a stone. The rabbi fish him out. Rabbi Ishmael asks Rabbi Isaac: “Should we tell him
where the stepping stones are?”
