卡尔·巴特、埃米尔·布鲁纳和鲁道夫·布特曼一起在湖上钓鱼。
天气越来越热,巴特走下船,在水上行走,拿了一些饮料,然后走回船上。
几个小时后,大家还是又热又渴,布鲁纳也下了船,在水上行走,拿了一些饮料,然后回来。几个小时后,他们都热得满头大汗,布特曼看起来越来越紧张。
巴特说:“来吧,埃米和我已经拿过饮料了,现在轮到你了。”
布鲁纳紧张地下了船,直接掉进了水里。
当他挣扎着试图回到船上时,布鲁纳悄悄对巴特说:“你认为我们应该告诉他哪里有踏脚石吗?”
巴特回答说:“什么踏脚石?”

推测解释:
- Karl Barth, known for his strong emphasis on God's grace, is depicted as having supernatural powers.
- Emil Brunner, comparing with Barth, more moderate, is also able to walk on water.
- Rudolf Bultmann, famous for his demythologizing approach, is left floundering because he doesn't believe in the possibility of miracles.
