Maurice was driving down a country road when his car got stuck in a large, muddy hole.
He was unable to free the car himself so he called to a farmer who was standing idly by a team of oxen in a nearby field.
When the farmer offered to pull the car out of the mud for $100, Maurice readily accepted. Using the oxen, the farmer pulled the car out very quickly.
He said to Maurice, “You know, that was the tenth car I’ve helped out of the mud today.”
Maurice paid him the money and said, “If you’re always pulling cars out of the mud during the day, do you have to plow your fields at night?”
“No,” the farmer replied. “Night is when I put water in that hole.”
