The two farmers Once upon a time, two farmers went home from the market. One of them bought a beautiful cow the other farmer wanted. Walking along the street, they saw a roadkill, a frog, lying there. ""If you eat this frog, I'll give you my new cow"", said the first farmer. Much to his surprise he really ate the roadkill, so he handed his cow over. After some time they saw another frog on the road. ""If you eat this frog, I'll give you back your beautiful cow"", said the newly rich farmer. So he ate the frog and won his cow back and everything was like it was before. After some more time, one farmer said: ""Say, why did we even eat the frogs?"" - ""I have no idea...""
