A woman who lived with her husband on a large farm was recovering in hospital following an operation. “The operation went well”, the doctor informed her, “and I think you’re ready to go home. But make sure you get plenty of rest. No work or strenuous activity for the next week.”
“But I have to take the bull from the lower field up to the upper field tomorrow to mate with the cows”, the woman protested. “It’s an uphill walk of over two kilometers and it’s very important!” ” Well can’t your husband do that?”, the doctor asked. “Yes”, the woman answered. “But the bull does it better.”
