Boudreaux left Newfoundland and moved to Toronto and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100.
The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
The next day, the farmer drove up and said, "I'm sorry, but I have some bad news... the donkey died last night."
"Well, den" said Boudreaux, "Jus' give my money back, yeah."
"I can't do that Sir, I went and spent it already."
"OK, den. Jus' unload dat donkey."
"What are you gonna do with him?"
"I'm gon-to raffle him off."
"You can't raffle a dead donkey, you dumb Newfie!"
"Well dats where you wrong. You wait you an' you learn how smart we Newfie's are!"
A month later the farmer ran into the Newfie and asked, "What happened with that dead donkey?"
"I raffled dat donkey off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made $998."
"Didn't anyone complain?"
"Just dat guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."

The Donkey
Watch nature, because it’s our greatest teacher, it moves and flows and moves on again. We can never be free until we disengage, so allow life to flow as you find it. The way it is, is the way it is.
