The Mexican Farmer and the Talking Donkey
A Mexican farmer is walking down the road with his donkey when a curious tourist stops and asks, “Does that donkey talk?” The farmer laughs and says, “Of course not. But I’ll tell you what, if you pay me $10, I’ll let you hear him talk.” The tourist, intrigued, hands over the money. The farmer then turns to the donkey and says, “Hey, tell him something!” The donkey looks at the tourist, sighs, and says, “This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard all week. A talking donkey? Really?” The tourist, shocked, turns to the farmer and says, “Wait, the donkey just talked! How is that possible?” The farmer smiles and says, “Well, you see, he doesn’t talk for free. He only does it for a price, and now he’s earned his $10!”
