Can you sell a dead donkey? 




A city boy, Raju, moved to a city and bought a donkey from an old farmer
for Rs 100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. 

The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some
bad news, the donkey died last night." 

Raju replied: "Well then, just give me my money back." 

The farmer said: "Can't do that. I went and spent it already." 

Raju said: "OK then, just unload the donkey.." 

The farmer asked: "What ya gonna do with him?" 

Raju: "I'm going to raffle him off." (Note: To raffle is to sell a thing
by lottery - draw lot - to a group of people each paying the same amount
for a ticket) 

Farmer: "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!" 

Raju: "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead." 

A month later the farmer met up with Raju and asked, "What happened with
that dead donkey?" Raju: "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two
rupees a piece and made a profit of Rs. 898.00." 

Farmer: "Didn't anyone complain?" 

Raju: "Just the guy who won. So I gave him back his two rupees." 

Raju grew up and eventually became the chairman of Satyam.
