Subject: Donkey Fable
A City boy, Kenny,
moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100.00.
The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
The next day the
farmer drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the
donkey died."
Kenny replied, "Well then, just give me my
money back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it
already."
Kenny said, "OK then, just unload
the donkey."
The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with
him?"
Kenny, "I'm going to raffle him
off."
Farmer, " You can't raffle off a dead
donkey!"
Kenny, "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody
he is dead."
A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked,
"What happened with that dead donkey?"
Kenny, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two
dollars apiece and made a
profit of $998.00."
Farmer, "Didn't anyone
complain?"
Kenny, " Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two
dollars back."
Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman
of Enron.
