A city in Poland had just one cow and it stopped giving milk. The townspeople did a little analysis and found they may get a cow from Moscow for 2000 rubles – or one from Minsk for less than 1000 rubles. So, naturally, — – they acquired the cow from Minsk.
It was an ideal cow: had a beautiful disposition, and gave plenty of milk and many cream. All people liked it dearly. The individuals determined they’d mate the cow and get extra cows prefer it, after which they’d by no means have to fret about their milk provide once more.
In order that they acquired a bull and led the cow and the bull into the pasture. When the bull got here in from the proper to mount the cow, the cow moved to the left. When the bull moved in to mount the cow from the left, the cow moved to the proper. This went on all day.
Lastly, in desperation, the individuals determined to go ask the rabbi what to do. In any case he was very sensible.
They advised him the story. “Rabbi, we’ve tried all day to mate our cow. When the bull strikes in from the proper the cow strikes left and when the bull strikes in from the left the cow strikes to the proper. What can we do?”
The Rabbi thought a second and requested, “Did you purchase this cow from Minsk?”
“Rabbi!” they replied as one, “You might be so sensible! We by no means stated we purchased the cow from Minsk. How do you know that?”
The Rabbi stated, sadly, “My spouse is from Minsk.”
