A man was walking along the countryside where he notices a lot of sheep and only one shepherd so curiously, he walks over to him and asks
“Are those sheep yours?” “Which ones, the black, or the white?” the shepherd asks. “The black ones?” “They’re mine.” He said. “I see, what about the white ones then?” “They are also mine.” he replies The man thinks of his reply as funny and let it slide. The man goes again and asks, “How much wool do they produce?” “The black or the white?” shepherd asks again. “The black ones.” He says. “About 20 kilograms.” “And the whites?” “They also produce 20 kilograms.” This time the man gets a little annoyed, but still lets it pass. “How much milk do they produce?” “Which ones, the black, or the white?” The man holds on to his patience and asks, “The black ones.” “About 15 liters per day.” “And the whites?” He continues. “Also 15 liters.” The man looses it this time, enraged, he says “If all of them are yours, produces the same amount of milk and wool, then why do you always keep asking for them separately?” The shepherd calmly replies, “You see those black ones, they belonged to my late father.” The man becomes a little hesitant after hearing him mention his late father and feels a little apologetic towards the shepherd “O-oh I see.” “And the white ones?” “They also belonged to my father.”
