I'm reminded of the story my great grandfather told me of growing up in Russia. He lived in a tiny village, that had only one cow. Sadly, the cow died, and the village had no milk. So they pooled their money, went to Minsk, and bought a cow.

 

Well, the cow turned out to be fabulous. Rich milk every day, and plenty of it. They liked the cow so much, they decided to pool their remaining money, rent a bull, and see if they couldn't get another cow or two. The plan didn't work though. The cow wouldn't go near the bull, who eventually gave up.

 

The villagers asked the travelling priest the next time he came through town, what he thought of the situation. The priest was known far and wide as a wise, patient man, who often could offer valuable advice.

 

"Is your cow from Minsk?" asked the priest?

 

"Yes, yes she is!" exclaimed the villagers. "You truly are wise! How did you know?"

 

"My wife is from Minsk."
