Jesus having lived in Heaven for a long time decides to search out his earthly father and thank him for raising him. However, Heaven is a large place and Jesus searches for many, many years without success. Finally, exhausted, he sits down on a bench to rest and strikes up a conversation with an old man also sitting on the bench.

“I’m searching for my earthly father but with no success”, says Jesus. The old man replies, “Now there’s a coincidence, I’m searching for my earthly son. Well, actually he wasn’t really my son but I loved him like my own flesh and blood.” At this Jesus perks up and says, “Why the one I’m searching for wasn’t really my father either but he raised me like one of his own. He lead a hard life as a carpenter but accepted me into his life without question.” The old man starts to get excited now and says, “Why I was a carpenter when I lived on earth!!” Jesus bursts out “My father’s name was Joseph.” Leaping to his feet the old man holds out his arms and sobs “My name was pronounced Joseph in some languages!” Crying Jesus embraces the old man saying only, “Father” to which the old man responds, “Pinnochio!!!”
