The only cow in a small town in Arkansas stopped giving
milk. The people did some research and found they could
buy a cow up in Westby, Wisconsin, for $600.00. They
bought the cow from Wisconsin, 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 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 asks, “Did you buy this cow in Wisconsin?”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 in Wisconsin?”The Vet
replied with a distant look in his eye, “My wife is from
Wisconsin.”
