With Our Hands

Did you hear the story about the nine men and one woman who were being rescued at sea by a helicopter? While hanging on for dear life from a rope suspended from the helicopter, it became obvious that the weight of the ten people was too much for the rope.

Consequently, it was decided that one person would have to let go. No one could say who that one should be until finally, the woman called out “I’ll jump.” She then gave a touching speech, volunteering to sacrifice her life to save the others because women are used to giving up things for their husbands and their children. The speech was so touching that all the men started clapping.
