I was just rummaging around the innards of my blog and I came across this story already saved as a draft... now even I can summon up enough energy to change the date and hit publish!!!
The only cow in a small town in Ireland stopped giving
milk.
Then the town folk found they could buy a cow in Scotland
quite
cheaply.
So, they brought the cow over from Scotland.
It was absolutely wonderful,
it produced lots of milk every
day and everyone was happy.
They
bought a bull to mate with the cow to get more cows,
so they'd
never have to worry about their milk supply again.
They put the
bull in the pasture with the cow but
whenever the bull tried to
mount the cow,
the cow would move away.
No matter what
approach the bull tried,
the cow would move away from the bull,
and he was never able to do the deed.
The people were
very upset and decided to go to
the Vet, who was very wise, tell
him what was happening and
ask his advice.
"Whenever the
bull tries to mount our cow, she moves away.
If he
approaches from the back, she moves forward.
When he approaches
her from the front, she backs off.
If he attempts it from the
one side, she walks away to the other side."
The Vet rubbed
his chin thoughtfully and pondered this
before
asking,
"Did you by chance, buy this cow in
Scotland?"
The people were dumbfounded, since no one had ever
mentioned
that they had brought the cow over from Scotland.
"You are truly a wise Vet," they said.
"How did you know
we got the cow from Scotland?
The Vet replied with a distant
look in his eye:
"My wife is from Scotland"
"In the beginning"
