The hardworking mule that made Joe and Larry's lives easier

Joe and Larry owned a hardworking mule with a habit of kicking when his ears brushed the top of his stall entrance. They attempted to solve this by cutting an opening in the stall.

Problem with the Mule's Stall

The mule would become agitated whenever his ears touched the top of the entrance, leading to chaotic behavior inside the stall.

Solution Attempt and Neighbor’s Advice

To address this issue, Joe and Larry decided to cut an opening at the top. While working, a neighbor suggested digging down the entrance instead, which would be easier.

Joe’s Response

After hearing the neighbor's advice, Joe humorously remarked to Larry that it was not the mule's feet that caused trouble but its long ears.
