SAID THE FARMER TO HIS FAITHFUL MULE 
Well, Lightnin’, you're just a mule, and the son of a jackass, and I’m a man 
and made in the image of God. But here we work, hitched up together, year in 
and year out, and I often wonder if I work for you or you work for me. Maybe 
it's a partnership. Anyway, I work as hard as you do plowing or cultivating. 
We cover the same disiance, but I do it on two legs and you do it on four, so 
I do twice as much work per leg as you do. Soon we’ll harvest the corn. I'll 
give one-third to the landlord, and one-third to you, and the balance is mine. 
You eat all yours but the cob. I have to divide mine with my wife and seven 
children, and six hogs, sixty hens, two ducks and a banker. If you and I both 
need shoes, you'll get them. 
Yes, sir, Lightnin’, you're getting the best of me. I ask you now, if it's fair 
for a mule, the son of a jackass, to swindle a man, the lord of all creation, the 
most intelligent of animals? You only help me plow and cultivate, and I must cut, 
shock and husk the corn while you hee-haw at me over the pasture fence. All 
year the whole family has ito help, from grandma to the baby, to scratch enough 
money together to pay the taxes and the interest on the mortgage. You ornery 
old critter, I even have to worry about the mortgage on your tough, ungrateful 
hide. About the only time I’ve gotten anything on you is on election. I can vote 
and you can’t. But after election day I realize right away I’ve been as big a 
jackass as your papa was. And then I begin to wonder if politics was made 
for men or jackasses—or just to make jackasses out of men. Honest, now, Lightnin’, 
when you know all these things, how can you keep such a straight face, and look 
so dumb and innocent?—Exchange.
