A short story for those not on an a cruise

[stevedeccaman]

:D

A farmer goes out to his field one morning only to find all of his

cows frozen solid. As far as the eye can s:)ee are cows, motionless like

statues. It had been a bitterly cold night, but he'd never thought

anything like this would happen. The realisation of the situation then

dawned on him. With his entire livestock gone, how would he make ends

meet? How would he feed his wife and kids? How would he pay the

mortgage? He sat with his head in his hands, trying to come to terms

with his impending poverty.

 

Just then, an elderly woman walked by, "What's the matter?" asked

the old lady.

 

The farmer gestured toward the frozen cows and explained his

predicament to the woman.

 

Without hesitation the old woman smiled and began to rub one of the

cows noses. After a few seconds the cow began to twitch and was soon

back to normal and chewing the cud.

 

 

One by one, the old woman defrosted the cows until the whole field

was full of healthy animals.

 

 

The farmer was delighted and asked the woman what she wanted as a

repayment for her deed.

 

 

She declined his offer and walked off across the field.

 

 

A passer-by who had witnessed the whole thing approached the

farmer.

 

"You know who that was don't you?" asked the passer-by.

 

"No" said the farmer "who?"
