A Farmer Was Taking Three Of His Donkeys.

A farmer was taking three of his donkeys to the market to sell them.

On the way, he saw a river and decided to have a dip.

Since he had only two ropes to tie the donkeys to a tree, he looked around, wondering how to tie the third one.

He saw a sage and sought his help if he could give him a rope to tie the third donkey.

The sage didn’t have a rope, but he had a suggestion.

He told the farmer, “Let the third donkey see you tying the other two donkeys to a tree. Then you pretend to tie this one also.”

The farmer did as he was told and went for a dip in the river.

Coming back, he thanked the sage and saw that the donkeys stood exactly at the same spot where he had left them.

He untied the two donkeys and patted the third one to start moving.

After going a little distance, imagine his surprise when the third donkey stood still at the same spot.

Cajoling, kicking, or talking didn’t help with the donkey, refusing to move from the spot.

The farmer went back to sage, who told him, “Untie the third donkey.”

“But,” protested the farmer, “I have not tied him.”

The sage asked, “You know. But does the donkey know that?”

Sure enough, the farmer went back and pretended to untie the donkey.

The donkey immediately moved as though released and walked over to join the other two donkeys.

Moral of the story:

We are all, also tied up by too many imaginary ropes…… which are really non-existent.

A Farmer Comes Home To Find His Sheepdog.

A farmer comes home to find his sheepdog waiting for him.

The sheepdog says: “I herded the sheep into the barn, just like you asked!”

“You sure you got them all?” The farmer replies.

“Yep! All 40 of them!” Says the sheepdog.

“40? But I only have 37 sheep.” Replies the farmer.

The sheepdog answers: “I know. I rounded them up for you.”

LOL!!
