The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the very next day. Chuck was excited, already picturing himself as a real rancher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next day, the farmer showed up looking nervous. He scratched his head and said, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, son, but I\u2019ve got bad news. The donkey died.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chuck frowned for a moment, then said calmly, \u201cWell, just give me my money back then.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The farmer shook his head. \u201cCan\u2019t do that.

Just bring me the dead donkey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The farmer looked confused but did as he was told.
