Sale of a donkey A city boy, Ken, 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." Ken replied, "Well then, just give me my money back." The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already." Ken said, "OK then, just unload the donkey." The farmer asked, "What ya goanna do with him?" Ken : "I'm going to raffle him off." Farmer: " You can't raffle off a dead donkey!" Ken : "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he is dead." A month later the farmer met up with Ken and asked, "What happened with that dead donkey?" Ken : "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $898.00." Farmer: "Didn't anyone complain?" Ken : " Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back." Ken grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron.
