A journalist interviews a farmer: “If you have two bungalows, are you willing to give one to the country?”
The farmer, without hesitation, said, “Sure! For communism!”
Journalist: “If you have two tractors, will you give one to the country?”
Farmer: “Of course! For the better development of our country!”
Journalist: “If you have two million bucks, will you give one million to the country?”
Farmer: “Yes! For the livelihood of our comrades!”
Journalist: “If you have two cows, will you give one to the country?”
The farmer keeps silent, looking at the journalist, so the journalist has to ask again: “Will you?” The farmer answers firmly, “No”.
The journalist is confused: “You are so generous about money and houses and tractors, but why do you draw the line at cows?”
“Because,” says the farmer, “I’ve actually got two cows”
