The only cow in a small town in Ireland stopped giving milk. Then the town folk found they could
buy a cow in Scotland quite cheaply. So, they brought the cow over from Scotland.
It was absolutely wonderful, and it produced lots of milk every day and everyone was happy.
They bought a bull to mate with the cow to get more cows, so they'd never have to worry about their
milk supply again. They put the bull in the pasture with the cow but whenever the bull tried to mount
the cow, the cow would move away. No matter what approach the bull tried, the cow would move away
from the bull, and he was never able to do the deed.
The people were very upset and decided to go to the Vet, who was very wise and tell him what was
happening and then ask his advice.
"Whenever the bull tries to mount our cow, she moves away.
If he approaches from the back, she moves forward.
When he approaches her from the front, she backs off.
If he attempts it from the one side, she walks away to the other side."
The Vet rubbed his chin thoughtfully and pondered this before asking, "Did you by chance, buy this
cow in Scotland?" The people were dumbfounded, since no one had ever mentioned that they had
brought the cow over from Scotland. "You are truly a wise Vet," they said. "How did you know we
got the cow from Scotland?
The Vet replied with a distant look in his eye: "My wife is from Scotland."
