The only cow in a small town in Scotland stopped giving milk.
The town folk heard they could buy a cow in Wales quite cheaply.
They bought the cow from Wales, and it was wonderful, it produced lots of milk every day and everyone was happy.
They decided to buy a bull to mate with their cow, to get more cows, so would never have to worry about their milk supply again.
They put the bull in the pasture with the cow but whenever the bull tried to mount the cow, the cow would move away.
No matter what approach the bull tried, the cow would move away, and he was never able to do the deed..
The people were very upset and decided to go a Vet, who had a reputation for being very wise.
They told him their story; "Whenever the bull tries to mount our cow, she moves away. If he approaches from the back, she moves forward, when he approaches her from the front, she backs off. If he attempts from the one side, she will walk away to the other side.
"The Vet rubbed his chin thoughtfully, and asked;
"Did you by chance, buy this cow in Wales?"
The people were dumbfounded, since no one had ever mentioned that they had bought the cow from Wales .
"You are truly a wise Vet," they said. "How did you know we bought the cow from Wales ?
The Vet replied with a distant look in his eye,
"My wife is also from Wales "
