Tribute to the captains

When we visited Estonian National Agency, we read a story. Actually we had a good idea how to use it in our training video, but as time was an obstacle, we couldn't manage, but the story is the following:

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there lived a man who said he believed in God. One day it started to rain and did not stop. it rained and rained. it rained so hard that the roads turned into rivers and water started to come into the houses. The man climbed onto the roof of his house to escape the water.

A short time later, a boat came to his house and the captain shouted to the man: " Come into my boat and i will take you to safety!"

The man replied: "No, i will not come - the Lord will save me."

So the boat went away. And the rain kept raining and the water got higher. Late that night another boat arrived and the captain shouted to the man: "You must act quickly, please get into my boat and i will take you to safety!"

Again the man replied: "No, i will not come - the Lord will save me."

So the boat went away. And the rain kept raining and the water got so high that it reached the top of the house and the man had to hold onto the chimney to keep from drowning. A third boat came to the man's house and the captain shouted: "This is your last chance! Get into my boat and i will take you to safety!"

Again the man replied: "No, i will not come - the Lord will save me."

So the boat went away. And the rain kept raining and the water got so high that the man drowned.

When he arrived in heaven, he asked God: "My Lord, why did you not save me? i waited for so long."

And God replied: "But my child, i sent you three boats."
