The only
cow in a small town in Northern Italy stopped giving milk.
Then the town folk found they could buy a cow in Sicily quite
cheaply.
So, they brought the cow over from Sicily .
It was absolutely wonderful. it produced lots of milk every day
and everyone was happy.
They bought a bull to mate with the cow to get more cows, so
they'd never have to worry about their milk supply again.
They put the bull in the pasture with the cow but whenever the
bull tried to mount the cow, the cow would move away. No matter what approach
the bull tried, the cow would move away from the bull, and he was never able to
do the deed.
The people were very upset and decided to go to the Vet, who was
very wise, tell him what was happening and ask his advice.
"Whenever the bull tries to mount our cow, she moves away.
If he approaches from the back, she moves forward. When he approaches her from
the front, she backs off. If he attempts it from the one side, she walks away
to the other side."
The Vet rubbed his chin thoughtfully and pondered this before
asking, "Did you by chance, buy this cow in Sicily ?"
The people were dumbfounded, since no one had ever mentioned that
they had brought the cow over from Sicily .
"You are truly a wise Vet," they said. "How did
you know we got the cow from Sicily ?
The Vet replied with a distant look in his eye: "My wife is
from Sicily ."
