The
only cow in a small town in NSW stopped giving milk. The people
did some research and found they could buy a cow from Victoria
for $200.00.
They
bought the cow from Victoria and the cow was wonderful. It produced
lots of milk all of the time, and the people were pleased and
very happy.
They decided to acquire a local bull to mate with the cow and
produce more cows like it. They would never have to worry about
their milk supply again.
They
bought a bull and put it in the pasture with their beloved cow.
However, whenever the bull came close to the cow, the cow would
move away.
No matter what approach the bull tried, the cow would move away
from the bull and he could not succeed in his quest. The people
were very upset and decided to ask the Vet, who was very wise,
what to do. They told the Vet what was happening.
"Whenever
the bull approaches our cow, she moves away. If he approaches
from the back, she moves forward. When he approaches her from
the front, she backs off. An approach from the side and she walks
away to the other side."
The
Vet thinks about this for a minute and asked, "Did you buy
this cow from Victoria?"
The
people were dumbfounded, since they had never mentioned where
they bought the cow.
"You
are truly a wise Vet," they said. "How did you know
we got the cow from Victoria?"
The
Vet replied with a distant look in hise ye, "My wife is from
Victoria."
