“Sure,” the farmer said, “but I’ve got room for only two of you in the house. The other will have to sleep in the barn with the animals, and the smell is very bad out there. ”
“I’ll sleep in the barn.” the banker volunteered.
Half an hour later a knock was heard on the farmer’s houses door, and there stood the banker, gasping, “I can’t take the smell.”
“All right.” said the grocer. “I’ll sleep in the barn.” And off he went.
In a while there was another knock on the door. “I’ve put up with some rank odors from spoiled food,” the grocerplained, “but that barn tops them all.”
“You two sissies.”said the politician “I’ll sleep in the barn.”
Thirty minutes later came another knock. When they opened the door, there stood all the animals from the barn.
