Hello Teacher
could you please help me to understand the following jok i was
reading because it seem s a little bit complecated to understand
it and what is the moral of it ?
Once upon a time a shepherd was looking after his
sheep in a field when a brand new top of the range
BMW came speeding along the road and then
suddenly stopped by the gate to the field.
The driver, a young man dressed in a Versace suit and
wearing Ray Ban sunglasses, got out of the car and
asked the shepherd, "If I guess correctly how many sheep
you have, will you give me one of them?"
The shepherd looked at the young man, then looked at
the huge flock of sheep and said, "Okay."
The young man went into his car, got out a notebook
computer, connected it to a mobile phone, accessed
the NASA website, scanned the ground using a
handheld GPS unit, created a database, and then
printed out a 150 page report on his mini-printer.
He then turned to the shepherd and said,
"You have exactly 1586 sheep here."
The shepherd answered, "That's correct. You can
have any of my sheep."
The young man chose one and put it in the back of
his car. The shepherd then asked, "If I can guess
what job you do, will you give me my sheep back?"
The young man answered, "Yes, why not."
The shepherd said, "You are a consultant."
The young man was amazed. "You're right! That's
incredible! How did you know?"
The shepherd replied, "It was very simple, really.
First, you came here without being asked.
Second, you charged me a sheep to tell me something
that I already knew.
Third, you do not understand anything about what
I do."
The young man asked, "Why do you say that I
don't know anything about what you do?"
The shepherd smiled and replied, "Because the sheep
you've taken is actually my dog!"
thanks
