There was once a young man. He had
lived in a large city all his life and was sick of it! He decided to move to the
country. Maybe even start a farm. But the only thing that could have stopped
him was he didn't know a damn thing about animals.
So, when he arrived to a peaceful little
village in the country, hebought land for a farm. He went to a local farmer to start
his farm. He asked the farmer, "What do you call this
animal?" The farmer replied, "That's a rooster, but I call it a
Cock." "OK," he said, "I'll take it."
Then he went up to a different animal and
asked what it was again. The farmer replied, "That's a pig, but I call it a
Pullet." The young man also purchased that animal. He decided to get one more
animal for the day.
He went up to a larger animal and asked
again what it was. The farmer replied in the same way, "That's a donkey,
but I call it an Ass." "OK, thank you very much," the young man said.
He left happily down the winding dirt road,
with his 3 animals, toward his farm. But on the way, the mosquitoes were unbearable
to his donkey. He knew he had to help it out, but if he did, his other 2 animals
would run away.
So then, the young man asked a traveler
coming down the road, "Would you hold my COCK and PULLET, while I scratch my
ASS?"
