Hi riverkid,

I shouldn't suffer in silence your rustic sense of humor concerning the quoted of me sentence "They walked across the water". But I have to manifest the superiority of European culture.

Could you imagine the next situation? There is a river (not Jordan). There is a group of people (they aren't the disciples of Jesus). These people want to cross the river. They look up for a ford. Then they line up suitable stones at regular intervals laying the foundations of an improvised pseudo bridge.

Could you, with the help of your high knowledgeable English language, depict their changing sides of the river,i.e. their passing across the water stepping over the mentioned above stones (not Moses' plates)?

Regards.

V.
