    The crafty Trader

    Once upon a time, there lived a


    farmer with his only son. He wanted to sell
    his cows. One day he had to go away for a
    few days. Before he departed, he told his
    son what to do. "If the cattle trader comes
    along," he said, "offer him those three
    cows. But beware! Don't let him have
    them for less than two hundred pound."
    The following day the trader came.
    He looked at the cows and asked the price.
    "Two hundred pound is a very fair price
    for these three cows," he commented,
    "O.K., Ill take them." He began to untie
    the animals and lead them away. But the
    farmer's son did not allow him to do so.
    "Just a moment, my friend, if you want the
    cows, first you have to pay," he said.
    "You are absolutely right," said the
    'trader while still holding the ropes of the
    three cows. "The fact is that I don't have
    the money with me, but I'll bring it to you
    tomorrow. Surely you trust me, don't you?"
    he assured him.
    "How can I trust you?" asked the
    son. "Yes, I understand, you are right,"
    agreed the trader, "I was just about to say
    tha I could leave you something as a
    guarantee that I will come back and bring
    you the money," said the man seriously.
    "What will you leave me?" the
    young man wanted to know first. "Suppose
    I leave you a cow, is that good enough?"
    "That certainly seems fair enough," said
    the son.
    So, the trader left one cow, and went off
    with two others, and never came back.
