Smart Investing
A city boy, Kenny, 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 last night.
Kenny replied Well then, just give me my money back.
The farmer said Can't do that. I went and spent it already.
Kenny said OK then, just unload the donkey.
The farmer asked What you gonna to do with him
Kenny I'm going to raffle him off. (Note To raffle is to sell a thing by lottery - draw lot -! To a group of people each paying the same amount for a ticket)
Farmer You can't raffle off a dead donkey!
Kenny Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.
A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, What happened with that dead donkey
Kenny I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $998.00.
Farmer Didn't anyone complain
Kenny Just the guy who won. So I gave him back his two dollars .
