Young John moved to Village of Hempstead, New York
and bought a horse from a Old Farmer for $100.00. The Old Farmer agreed to deliver the
horse the next day. The next Day he drove up and said, “Sorry, Son, but I have
some bad news, The horse died.”
John replied, “Well, then just give me my money back.”
The Old Farmer said, “Can’t do that. I went and spent it
already.”
John said, “Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse.”
The Old Farmer asked, “What you going to do with him?”
John said, “I’m going to raffle him off.”
The Old Farmer said, “You can’t raffle off a dead horse!”
John said, “Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody
he’s dead.”
A month later, the Old Farmer met up with John and asked, “What
happened With that dead horse?”
John said, “I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two
dollars a Piece and made a net profit of $898.00.”
The Old Farmer said, “Didn’t anyone complain?”
John said, “Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two
dollars back.”
John grew up and now works for the government.
