A man was lost while driving through the country.
As he tried to read a map, he accidentally drove off the road into a ditch.
Though he wasn't injured, his car was stuck deep in the mud. So the man walked
to a nearby farm to ask for help.
"Warwick
can get you out of that ditch," said the farmer, pointing to an old
mule standing in a field. The man looked at the haggardly mule and
looked at the farmer who just stood there repeating, "Yep, old
Warwick can do the job." The man
figured he had nothing to lose. The two men and Warwick made their
way back to the ditch.
The farmer hitched the mule to the
car. With a snap of the reins he shouted, "Pull, Fred! Pull, Jack!
Pull, Ted! Pull,
Warwick!" And the mule pulled the
car from the ditch with very little effort.
The man was amazed. He thanked the
farmer, patted the mule and asked, "Why did you call out all of
those other names before you called
Warwick?"
The farmer grinned and said, "Old
Warwick is just about blind. As long as he believes he's part of a
team, he doesn't mind pulling." |
