The people in the small village of Minsk wanted to buy a cow to mate with their bull, so they went to the nearby village of Pinsk to buy a cow...
They turned the cow out into the pasture to mate with their bull, but every time the bull mounted the cow, the cow would move away... the cow would move to the left, so the bull would also move to the left.. but then the cow would move to the right, so then bull also would move to the right... the cow would move forward, so the bull would move forward... the cow never allowed the bull to mount...
This went on for many days and the people of the village were disappointed and didn't know what to do... one of the villagers suggested they go to the village rabbi and ask for his wisdom and guidance... the people told the rabbi the problem with the cow they just bought...
The rabbi paused before responding, then said, "This cow that you talk about, is it from Pinsk?" The people were stunned and amazed at the rabbi's remarkable insight... The villagers replied, "Yes, rabbi, yes, what wisdom and insight you have, we never even told you, so how did you come to know such a thing?" The rabbi said, "Oh, well, my wife is from Pinsk."
