There was once a boy, and he bought a donkey from a farmer for $1,000. A few days later, the boy stopped by to pick up the donkey. The farmer said, "I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but your donkey died. We are really poor, so I had to spend that $1,000 to feed my family." The boy says, "That's okay, I'll take the donkey anyways." Farmer says, "What in the world are you going to do with a dead donkey?" Boy says, "I'm gonna raffle him off." Farmer says, "What? You can't raffle off a dead donkey! Nobody's going to buy it!" Boy takes the donkey anyway and drives off. Two weeks later, the farmer bumps into the boy in town and asks, "Whatever happened with that donkey?" Boy says, "Oh, I sold 500 tickets at $2 apiece." Astounded, the farmer asks, "Did anyone complain?"
"Just the guy who won, so I gave him his $2 back."
