A retiring farmer in preparation for selling his land, needed to rid his farm of animals.<>
So he went to every house in his town.<>
To the houses where the man is the boss, he gave a horse.<>
To the houses where the woman is the boss, a chicken was given.<>
He got toward the end of the street and saw a couple outside gardening.<>
“Who’s the boss around here?” he asked.<>
“I am.” said the man.<>
“I have a black horse and a brown horse,” the farmer said, “which one would you like?” The man thought for a minute and said, “The black one.” “No, no, no, get the brown one.” the man’s wife said.<>
“Here’s your chicken.” said the farmer.<>
