Jesus was walking around Heaven one day when, in a small secluded garden, he saw an old man sobbing.
Alarmed, Jesus ran up to him and said, “Hey, old man, what’s all this? This is paradise. There should be no tears or sorrow.”
The old man wiped away his tears and said, “Oh, I know. I’m sorry. But, well, many years ago, a son came to me through, let’s say, mysterious circumstances. After many trials he went through a miraculous transformation and a book was written about him that became known the world over. I thought I might find him here, but I haven’t. I’m afraid I’ll never see him again.”
Wide-eyed, Jesus looked at the man and said, “Wait a minute. You weren’t by any chance a carpenter, were you?”
The man looked up in surprise. “Why, yes. Yes, I was!”
Jesus burst into tears of joy and held out his arms crying, “Father! Father!”
The man tilted his head in puzzlement and replied….”Pinocchio???”
