There once was a farmer who had a hundred cows. He milked them every day and set them out into the grassland at night. His neighbor, a banker, had just moved in next door. The banker wanted to move to the country to enjoy the views.
On the first night, the banker sat outside to enjoy the sunset. He could hardly breathe. The smell from the cows was so great. Disgusted, he went indoors. The next evening, he tried to enjoy the sunset again but was forced to go back inside because of the smell.
He finally decided that the farmer would have to go. The banker had a lot of money, so he offered to buy the farm.
“Yes, I will sell you the farm, but it will take me at least a week to sell the cows and take care of them. Would you be willing to wait a week?” asked the farmer.
The banker decided he could do that. At the end of the week, the banker came to the farm again. The farmer wondered if they could wait until his visiting brother left. The banker thought for a while and agreed. A month passed. The farmer walked to the banker’s house to see if he still wanted the farmer.
“Why, no.” replied the banker. “You keep it.”
The farmer smiled to himself. He knew that by making the banker wait, it would allow time for the banker to get used to the awful smell of the cows.
