Kenny, a city boy, moved to the country and
purchased a donkey from an old farmer for $100.
The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the
following day.

The next morning, the farmer drove up and said,
"Sorry, son, but I have some bad news. The donkey
died."

"Well, just return my money to me," Kenny said.

"Sorry, can't do that," said the farmer. "I
already spent it."

"OK then, just unload the donkey," said Kenny.

"Whatcha gonna do with him?" asked the farmer.

"I'm going to raffle him off," Kenny replied.

"You can't raffle off a dead donkey!" the
farmer exclaimed.

"Of course I can," replied Kenny. "Watch me. I
just won't tell anybody he is dead."

A few weeks later, the farmer met up with Kenny
and asked, "So, what happened with the dead
donkey?"

"I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two
dollars a piece and made a profit of $898.00,"
explained Kenny.

"Didn't anyone complain?" inquired the farmer.

"Just the guy who won. So, I gave him his two
dollars back," Kenny proudly replied.
