An out-of-towner drove his
car into a ditch
in a desolated area. Luckily, a local farmer came to
help with his
big strong horse named Buddy.
He hitched Buddy up to the car
and yelled, „Pull, Nellie, pull!“
Buddy didn’t move.
Then
the farmer hollered, „Pull, Buster, pull!“ Buddy didn’t
respond.
Once more the farmer commanded, „Pull, Coco, pull!“ Nothing.
Then the farmer nonchalantly said, „Pull, Buddy, pull!“ And the
horse
easily dragged the car out of the ditch.
The motorist was
most appreciative and very curious. He asked the
farmer why he
called his horse by the wrong name three times.
„Well… Buddy is
blind and if he thought he was the only one pulling,
he wouldn’t
even try!“
