MANGALOREAN COW
The only cow in a small Villlage - Carmona in Goa - stopped giving milk.
Then the town folk found they could buy a cow in Mangalore quite cheaply.
So, they brought the cow over from Mangalore.
It was absolutely wonderful, it produced lots of milk every day and everyone was happy.
They bought a bull from Margao(GOA) to mate with the cow to get more cows, so they'd never have to worry about their milk supply again.
They put the Margao bull in the pasture with the Mangalorean cow but whenever the bull tried to mount the cow,the cow would move away.
No matter what approach the bull tried,the cow would move away from the bull, and he was never able to do the deed.
The people were very upset and decided to go tothe Vet from Candolim(GOA),who was very wise, tell him what was happening and ask his advice.
"Whenever the bull tries to mount our cow, she moves away.
If he approaches from the back, she moves forward.
When he approaches her from the front, she backs off.
If he attempts it from the one side, she walks away to the other side."
The Vet rubbed his chin thoughtfully and pondered this before asking,
"Did you by chance, buy this cow in Mangalore?"
The people were dumbfounded, since no one had ever mentionedthat they had brought the cow over from Mangalore.
"You are truly a wise Vet," they said.
"How did you know we got the cow from Mangalore?"
The Candolim Vet replied with a distant look in his eye:
"My wife is from Mangalore."
