A city boy, Paul, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old
farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some
bad news, the donkey died."
Paul replied, "Well then, just give me my money back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
Paul said, "OK then, just unload the donkey."
The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?"
Paul, "I'm going to raffle him off.
"Farmer, " You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
Paul, "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he is dead."
A month later the farmer met up with Paul and asked, "What happened with
that dead donkey?"
Paul, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and
made a profit of $898.00."
Farmer, "Didn't anyone complain?"
Paul, " Just the guy who won........ So I gave him his two dollars back."
............Paul grew up and eventually became the Prime Minister of
Canada.
