A farmer had three sons. One day, his oldest came to him and said that since he was graduating high school, he
would really like to get a car
His father said, "Son, come here." He took him to
the barn,
pointed to the tractor and said, "This tractor is
needed for the
farm and I promise, as soon as it's paid for, we'll
get you a car."
The boy was not too happy, but was understanding.
A week later, his second son approached him, wanting
a motorcycle.
"Well," the father said, "as soon as the tractor is
paid for we'll see
about getting you your scooter."
Shortly after, his youngest was bugging him for a
bike. Again, the
father gave him the lecture about the tractor
needing to be paid off first.
While leaving the barn, the young boy, a little
disgusted with his
father's explanation, saw the farm rooster doing its
"rooster duty"
with one of the hens. He promptly went over and
kicked the rooster
off the hen's back, mumbling to himself.
His dad asked, "Son, now why would you do something
like that?
He didn't do anything to deserve that."
The third son replied, "Hey, nobody around here
rides anything until
that tractor gets paid off!"
