One Big Old Mule Named Buddy
~
An
out-of-town motorist accidentally drove
his car into a ditch in a desolated area.
Luckily, a
local farmer came over to help
with his big strong mule named Buddy.
~
He hitched Buddy up to the car and yelled,
"Pull, Nellie, pull!" Buddy didn't move.
~
Then the farmer hollered louder,
"Pull, Buster, pull!" Buddy didn't respond.
~
Once more the farmer commanded,
"Pull, Coco, pull!" Buddy stood still.
~
Then the farmer nonchalantly said, "Pull, Buddy, pull!"
And the old mule easily dragged the car out of the ditch.
~
The motorist was most appreciative, but very curious.
So he asked the farmer why he called his mule
by the wrong name three times?
~
"Well you see", said the farmer,
"Buddy is blind and if he thought he was
the only one pulling, he wouldn't even try!"
