The farmer’s son was returning from the market with the crate of chickens his father had entrusted to him, when all of a sudden the box fell and broke open.
Chickens scurried off in different directions, but the determined boy walked all over the neighborhood scooping up the wayward birds and returning them to the repaired crate. Hoping he had found them all, the boy reluctantly returned home, expecting the worst.
“Pa, the chickens got loose,” the boy confessed sadly, “but I managed to find all twelve of them.”
“Well, you did real good, son,” the farmer beamed, “because you only left with seven.”
🙂 You’re right — best not to count ahead of time.
In this story, the intended outcome of the saw is turned upside down!
My first comment didn’t take, so 😀
It took. Moral of the story, the title of the post.
that is a good profit margin!
Such stories are the fodder in training programmes for sales force indeed! I will send you one by email.
Now, there’s a good, well intentioned son!
I really wish that I was a poultry farmer and that my son would be so diligent!
Catching up with you as I can’t comment on my android on your blog for some reason. No problem with others. Baffling.
Love the wee one with the unicorn hat and the shot of your gorgeous dog 🙂
As to the chickens, funny story.

Your android perhaps thinks that my blog is an asteroid! Thank you for the comments. I know that it can be frustrating when one gadget does not work as expected to.
LOL! an enterprising son!
I really wish that I was a poultry farmer and that my son would be so diligent Tammy!
that young man will go far in his life L0L
That he will undoubtedly. And his father will count the chickens all the way to the bank.
The farmer’s son obviously has a great future as a businessman. He’ll be given seven pounds and turn it into twelve (or turn 645 rupees into 1100).
That he will undoubtedly Nick. And his father will count the chickens all the way to the bank.
